Geocache Description:


Please do not search for this cache until Friday Oct. 14/05 at 6 p.m.

The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates !!!

My wife and I like to travel to warmer destinations in the cold of winter. We mainly travel to Mexico but these are some of the Islands which we may visit in the future. By doing this cache hopefully you will investigate the islands through your search and maybe decide to go. To find this cache you must find the islands I give hints to and then find the DIGITAL ROOT of the word/name.

THE FINAL CO-ORDINATES WILL BE IN THE FORMAT N 45 18.ABC AND W 075 53.DEF
