Queen Anne F.C. Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

fauxSteve: I checked on the cache and it was right where the photo showed it. I don't think I can give people the kind of accuracy that they've come to expect in geocaching these days so I picked up the container and the cache is now archived.

Geocache Description:

The given coordinates are only good for ball games and out-of-control hooliganism (Upper Queen Anne-style). In fact, they won't even put you on the right playing field. Everything you really need follows.


markta's puzzle caches have defined the landscape of Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, making it one of the city's best areas to find great caches (see, for example, Queen Anne Quandary 3). They are elegant, well-thought out creations, and in thanks for his contributions to the game I am hiding a rough and dirty puzzle up here on the hill to highlight that fact. Enjoy!
