Surfer Joe: P B & J,

If you can fix or verify that this cache is still in place it can be easily unarchived provided the location is still available and still meets the cache hiding guidelines. For now I am going to archive it. Feel free to contact me through my profile linked below if you fix it.

NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply directly to this email. Instead, send me an email via my geocaching.com profile. Please include a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

This is a fun Multi=Stage Cache. As a bonus you get to learn some local history. Ì!KC

Start your hunt at the coordinates above. This will take you to a building. You must visit here during regular business hours. Usually open 6am till about noon, then again in the evenings. Can also be accessed sometimes on Sat. and Sun. around these same times. At this location, find a real estate map on the North wall. Determine what year is in the title of this map. Add 4329 to this four digit number and insert into the north coords. Next, minus 393 from this date and insert into the west coords.

N 44 5 _. _ _ _ W 93 2 _. _ _ _

Now, you’ll be at a new place. If you can’t get inside, look through the windows and find two words in big gold letters. Take the numeral equivalent of each letter and add all the letters up of both words. For example, the word GEO would become 7-5-15. The sum would then be 27. You should have come up with one number adding up both words. Add 530 to that number and insert into the north coords. Add 460 to that same number and insert into the west coords.

N 44 55. _ _ _ W 93 18. _ _ _

Now, you’ll be at yet another new place. Here, read some history. Determine how many miles were operated. Add 271 and insert into the north coords. Now determine the month/day the system was abandoned. Convert it into a three digit number and minus 92 from it (i.e. March 19 would become 319). Insert into the west coords.

N 44 55. _ _ _ W 93 18. _ _ _

These last coordinates are the cache’s location. Remember, it’s a micro cache. Hidden out in the open, but in an unexpected spot. Included are a log book and a short pencil.
