Geocache Description:

8/27/2016 - Geocache Passport Program is complete and there are no more coins available. I've left the stickers in the cache so if you'd like to continue collecting them you can, the passports themselves make a nice collectible. Once the stickers are gone, they're gone:)

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!

To find this cache: Proceed to the posted coordinates and examine the butterfly sign. You're looking for the photograph of a bird, it's the only bird pictured on the sign. Read the common name of the bird carefully and count the number of letters in the first name (equals A) and the number of letters in the second name (equals B).

The final North Coordinates equal the posted coordinates minus
(A times 20) plus B
Example: N41 49.809 minus 107 equals N41 49.702

The final West Coordinates equal the posted coordinates plus
(A minus B) times 2
Example: W88 00.456 plus 4 equals W88 00.460

Warning!!! You MUST write a quote from a movie or book on the scroll and on this web site. You must also state the name of the movie or book you took the quote from. Setting the scene and commenting why you chose your quote isn't required but is appreciated.

Cache History: Mike's Scroll Of Lost Quotations started out in Lyman Woods and has returned but to a new location. It's on it's third scroll and I still have the first two. If you've found this cache before I welcome your return visit and new smiley and quotes as only the concept is the same, the beginning, ending and container are all new.

I want to thank Victory Mike who had a cache like this in Ann Arbor Michigan. He graciously gave me permission to copy his idea.
