Geocache Description:

This is my first mystery cache in appreciation of Kealia's "Chasing Amy" mystery. The title of this cache is one of my favorite movies which you must watch to solve the mystery. It is rated PG-13 and not recommended for young children. The coordinates above are for free parking about half a mile from the cache, but you can park closer if you desire .


Even if you have already viewed this movie you will need to see it again to determine all the coordinates. I tried to put this puzzle in the order seen in the movie, however C, G, H and I do not follow in viewing sequence, so pay close attention.

SOLVE FOR THE FOLLOWING: N 36 AB.CDE W 122 FF.GHI

AB = The fourth then second number on license plate of the first getaway car.

C = Only one of the actors playing The Soggy Bottom Boys actually sang a lead vocal in the movie for "In the Jailhouse Now". C= number of letters in his FIRST NAME. Hint: George, John or Tim.

D = Sum of the first and second numbers on George Nelson's license plate.

E = Number of Soggy Bottom Boys minus 2.

FF = First number on license plate of haywagon.

G = Number of girls on rope at the end of the movie.

H = Placement of hour hand of clock at radio station OR at the bank x 4

I = Number of letters in the word of what the 3 prisoners were seeking.

Do not bring trade items, but you will need to bring something to write with. Cache replaced in a much better location on 10/29/12. Hints and final coordinates were also changed a bit. Any changes to the movie puzzle are indicated in red.

CONGRATULATIONS to dgreno, first to find on Mar. 14, 2004!
