Originally, when this
cache was published on August 8, 2004, in order to find this cache,
you had to find 7 micro caches hidden throughout the South Hills.
As time went on, they were all archived, but the End of the Rainbow
lived on. Rather than archive this cache, and lose it's history,
we've decided to keep the hide in the same location but change the
puzzle, making it accessible again! This cache puzzle has
been redone and is ready to be found again on it's 7th
anniversary!
In order to find Pot o Gold End of
the Rainbow:
-
Red = Number of times the cache was
found on 9/4/2004
-
Blue =Number of DNFs logged prior
to 8/7/2011
-
Indigo = Number of caches
originally int he Pot O' Gold Series, including the
final
-
Yellow= Add the number of letters
in the first to find cacher's name + the number of letters in the
second to find cacher's name. Then subtract
11.
-
Orange = Number of times found in
2005 - (number of times found in 2004 + number of times found in
2006)
-
Green = Number of times found in
August 2004 - 1

THERE IS NO CACHE AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! THE ACTUAL CACHE

Pot
O' Gold:
End of
the Rainbow
It seems as if
Pittsburgh cachers have a love/hate relationship with
micros. Chris and I
love them; everyone else hates them!
Well, the Pot O’ Gold series
of caches will give you the best of both worlds. In order to earn a trip into the
woods, you must first find seven micros located in very public
places around the city. The micros may not be especially
challenging hides, but getting to them without being seen will
be! You will also find
that many of the seven micros are placed in areas that are nearby
other regular sized caches to promote visits to these caches as
well!
In order to find Pot O’ Gold: End of the
Rainbow, you must first visit each of the colors in the
rainbow. At each of
these seven caches, you will be given information that will help
you find the End of the Rainbow. Six of the seven micros will list
one of the coordinates for End of the Rainbow, and the other will
provide you with a form to fill in the given
coordinates. You do
not need to complete these in any given order, but be sure to take
a pen/pencil to sign the log, and also a piece of paper to keep
track of the coordinates.
After completing Pot O’
Gold: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet, you
will be on your way to finding Pot O’ Gold: End of the
Rainbow. This final
cache is an ammo can hidden in South Park, in an area that we
don’t believe many will be familiar with. As the name suggests, End of the
Rainbow is filled with nicer trade items, so please keep this in
mind when trading.
Also, for the first lucky finder, we have left another cache that
is stocked and ready to be placed. Please hide this cache within a
ten mile radius of where you found it! The cache to take is the round
Rubbermaid container—NOT the ammo
can!
