Anniv series FINAL: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

LaPaglia: It is not permissible to change a cache to a virtual cache. It has not been allowed for 3 years. I am archiving your cache because there is no container there. If you would like to replace the container please contact your local reviewer to see about reopening this cache. In addition Virtual Travel bugs have never been allowed.
The reason your Geocoin/Travel bug page was locked is because it is a virtual Travel bug. The site was not designed for this type of tracking. We do not see virtual TB's as an acceptable use of the tracking features of the site, and we take this kind of setup as an abuse of our features. I am very sorry for any frustration this may have caused you.

If you would like to have the TB unlocked, please delete all logs associated with it's virtual whereabouts and edit the description to delete the tracking number. Once this is done, please let me know the TB number and I will put it in the queue to have it unlocked! Thanks!

Geocache Description:

NOT located at the above coordinates, but within 2 miles. Has now been changed to a VIRTUAL cache b/c it got muggled TOO many times

This is the last in a series of 4 caches set up to commemorate our FIRST ANNIVERSARY together. LadyEsquire and DoctorRam became inseparable on October 12, 2004… despite all of the doctor/lawyer jokes!

This series of caches was placed especially for LadyEsquire on our anniversary day. Each cache contained a special gift for her. Since we started Geocaching, she has always wanted a White Jeep Travel Bug. So… I spent several months trying to track down and capture one of these elusive beasts for her. I hid it in this cache as a complete surprise for her.

The cache is located near the restaurant where we had our first date. It was suppose to be a quick dinner that ended up lasting 4 hours until we were eventually kicked out of the restaurant.

This cache has now been changed to a VIRTUAL b/c the actual cache was muggled WAY too many times. To log this cache, please email me the name of the restaurant to the right of the coords. I will in turn email you the tracking # of a World of Geocaching Geocoin AND a White Jeep Travel Bug to log virtually so you can collect the icons...

The caches in order are:

1) Our Favorite Sashimi (GCR0YY)
2) A Ride for Two (GCR0YZ)
3) Relaxation for the Lady (GCR0Z4)
4) WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! (GCR0ZE)

CONGRATULATIONS TO [SNOWAKE] FOR BEING THE FTF!

Now the puzzle:

You must visit each of the first three caches. They will each contain a 2 digit number. You will need to “translate” these numbers to get the proper coordinates: N 37 50.ABC W 122 15.DEF

The cache is now a VIRTUAL.
