The Golden Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Prime Reviewer: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

In order to solve this cache, you must have found all four Clear Lake Micro Madness Caches and collected the code words. See the links to the necessary caches below.

Treasure hunters have always been drawn to bounties that promise large amounts of gold. Throughout history, gold has often been used to measure a person’s worth. Sometime around 1500 BC, gold began making its appearance as an accepted currency in Egypt and other countries in the world. As with all things considered valuable, large amounts of gold have been stolen, hidden, and lost over the course of history. Should you find any lost gold, you can choose to place it in this cache…or not. So as to not reap ill-effects from faulty advertising, I will let it be known that this cache was not placed containing any gold. However, the cache itself is very much a golden cache. Since large amounts of gold can be difficult to find without embarking on a long journey, finding The Golden Cache will be as well. To obtain the coordinates for The Golden Cache, you must first find all of the Clear Lake Micro Madness caches (four in all, you may find them in any order). Four-letter codes have been written on the bottom of the first page of each micro log. Once you have all four codes, you will have to figure out the cipher to translate each letter below to a number to reveal the actual coordinates of The Golden Cache. Good luck!
