Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates. You must first solve the puzzle to get to the cache.

This cache is in celebration of my 100th find. I think it's about time I give back to the geocaching community and offer my thanks to those before me particularly Nekkar (and WanderBoy), Vacman, CLRL, Team Trailgoon, Snowland, TWA42, EScout, and Amtraker, just to name a few. I really love science and this brings the beauty of science in nature to light. There is a series of numbers that appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. These numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind. It was discovered by a 13th century Italian mathematician. Find this divine sequence (eliminating the commas) and decrypt the following coordinates: N: CC FI DJJ W: -AAE BB GJA Parking: not along the street (bike path) however, cache has it's own driveway! Container is a tupperware-type cammoed container. Original contents include Jamba Juice and Starbucks gift certificates, an eyeglass repair kit, a new set of batteries (AA), a dogpaw bottle opener a log and pen and my first TB too! Have fun and good luck! Windkissed
