Mongo: ### ARCHIVE OF GEOCACHE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BY THE OWNER ###


Greetings GB-Cacher,

I hate to see any cache go, but I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from, nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT

Geocaches not maintained by the owner will still be archived even when a throwdown container has been left. Ownership Regarding Throwdowns

Regretfully,

Geocache Description:

This is a micro-cache in the Wildwood section of West St. Louis County where you will have to pick up information at two waypoints in order to find the finale.

Park at the coordinates above (WP1) or at WP2 (see below) as starting points. You can walk to the second waypoint and then to the finale.You DO NOT have to walk onto busy Manchester Road in this area - the notes below will guide you safely to where you need to go.

WP1 – N38.35.060 W090.37.066- you should be in front of a bank. Count the number of “green dots” in the bank’s signature logo and call this A.

Multiple A by 17, add 5 – then subtract this total from the N coordinates of WP1 to determine the N coordinates of the finale. To get to WP2, walk in a southwesterly direction.

WP2- N38.34.886 W090.37.050 – you should be next to a red/white sign with an arrow. One part of the sign is the insignia of a famous registered brand. Count the number of letters in the brand name and call this B.

Multiple B by 7, add 14 – then add this total to the W coordinates of WP2 to determine the W coordinates of the finale. To get to WP1, walk in a northwesterly direction.

The finale is a micro cache with only a logbook and micro-pencils.

Remember - Don’t play in traffic!
