Geocache Description:

This cache is a multi stage game cache. The listed coordinates are for the first stage, which contains bingo cards. Each square on the bingo card contains a waypoint for an area cache. You must visit the listed caches, and get a game piece to cover that square. Each game piece contains part of the coordinates to the next stage. You must get both a vertical and horizontal bingo to complete this cache. More instructions are listed on the back of each bingo card.

The first stage of this cache is a small Tupperware container that contains the bingo cards needed to complete this cache. To successfully log this cache you must pick up a card and get 2 BINGO's. One horizontal Bingo (5 squares across) and one vertical Bingo (5 squares up and down). The letters in each square are www.geocaching.com waypoints. The waypoints are for 25 area caches. You must look up the waypoint at www.geocaching.com to get the cache name and coordinates. When you visit the listed waypoint, you will find a game piece. Each game piece has a number above and below the waypoint. You must either take a game piece or write the numbers onto your card. The top number is a digit in the West coordinate and the bottom is a digit in the North coordinate. When you get BINGO both across and up and down you will get a waypoint to one of several micro caches containing the waypoint to the final "And Bingo Is The Namo!" cache. (There are several different micro caches depending on what rows and columns you get bingo.) Each of these micro caches are pill bottles.The west coordinates read top to bottom using the top digit on the game piece. You must complete a vertical bingo to get your west coordinates. The North coordinates read left to right using the bottom digit on the game piece. You must complete a horizontal bingo to get your north coordinates.The final stage is an ammo box with plenty of goodies. There is a first finder certificate in an envelope for the first finder. If the game pieces are gone or missing, from any of the waypoints, post a note and I will email you the numbers you need for that cache, and replace the game pieces and also place a small sticker located on the inside of each of the caches to prevent having to replace game pieces often.If a listed waypoint goes inactive, I will use a different waypoint instead and update that info on this page.It will probably be a good idea to check this page often if you start playing to check for any updates or changes!UPDATE 4-11-04Thicket & Thorns (GC4CFD) has been archived. The Bingo Pieces from that cache are now located in (GCJ54P).
