Geocache Description:

A quick and easy multi with an ammocan at the end. If you don't like lame micros then this is the cache for you! You will have to bushwhack @20'.

Several months ago I found Team Happyspider's cache Something Silly in Shannon GCGEY8 and I loved the cache theme. Unfortunately the cache had been muggled so I gathered up the remnants and brought them to him and he archived it. He and I then decided to put another one out in Smyrna but before we could he up and moved away leaving me holding the ammocan.

Well, he's coming back for a visit and I had to get on the ball and find a location. In the midst of the hunt, I stopped by a building I used to work in and remembered standing behind it smoking and laughing at all the folks caught in rush hour traffic on 285. I can remember thinking how silly it would have to be to sit in that daily and a light bulb went off in my head and the rest of this cache was born.


Whoa there, hold on just a second. You're sitting there in traffic so relax, you've got time to do a little math first to get to the final stage.

1) How many animals of each kind did Moses take with him on the ark. This is "A".

2) How many years old was I when I was born? This is "B".

3) How many pieces of bubblegum are in each regular pack of pez candy? (AHA! you thought it was all gonna be easy didn't you?) This is "C".

4) If Susie was selling seashells by the seashore in Savannah and a tree fell in the forest in Dalton what would the change in price be per pound for tea in China? This is "D".

5) How many non-cachers are on the GGA Steering Committee? This is "E".

6) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? "This is "F".

Now use your answers in the following formula:

(A + B)C + (D - E)F = Z.


(This formula will not help you find the cache but it sure does look good doesn't it?)

Now look for the building # you are behind - it's right there on the window going into the building. Subtract 2763 from it for the north coordinates and subtract 2113 from the # of the building to your right (when you have your back to 285) for the west coordinates. The final is located at N33 53.NNN W084 28.WWW

If the first finder would leave a pen I would appreciate it. I'm almost certain I forgot to add one to it.
