Jumping Jack Flash Mystery Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This is a puzzle chache that will require some homework. The above coordinates are bogus. Do not attempt to use them.
After almost a year of no activity I decided to give the answer to the puzzle in the hint for those who are having trouble or just dont have the time. I still believe the older caches need some visitation but this is a great big cache in a great spot so I would like to see it have more traffic too. Please be respectful to the area and leave thigs the way you found them!!! Happy caching!!
Ok, This is my first attepmt at a puzzle cache and I have it in my head how it will work. Putting it on paper may be another story. I wanted to get people caching and get some older caches some activity. So I called upon some of my Geocaching Friends and asked them to pick a number, place it in their existing caches and let me know what number and cache they picked. They had no idea what the game was going to be. I have chosen to play The Price Is Right. There is a winning number for the coordinates for the key to the cache and a winning number for the cache itself. You must retrieve the existing caches and record thier number and see who is the closest to the winning number WITHOUT GOING OVER!!! When you see who has won the showcase then you will be able to use the chart below to find the correct coordinates. The others are bogus.
THE KEY winning number is 188
Visit the following cahes to see who the winner is.
Bank it with Squirrels by SquirrelGps and The Rat

You must visit the caches, record the number and see who the winner is. The winner is the closest to 188 without going over.
Find the winner on the list below and the coordinates by their name will be the correct ones.

Family Cruisers N32 42.043 W094 40.643
Normasgirl N32 48.171 W094 42.387
Now you should have the coordinates to the key, let's talk about the cache. The winning number for the cache is 368. Visit the following caches and record their number. The winner is the closest without going over 368.

Now, about the cache. It is VERY large. It has room for lots of trade items and BIG stuff. Please trade even or trade up so the swag will stay as sweet as it is. There is a FTF prize plus a Jeep travel bug to start it out plus lots of toys for boys and girls of all ages. The FTF prize includes an unactivated Geocoin. Please leave lots of cool stuff, travel bugs and coins to get people out there geocaching. If you have any questions please email me. As an added bonus the area the cache is located in is a very neat historical sight. Please be sure to recover key cache and lock up the big one. I dont think its muggleproof but I tried real hard. Happy Caching!!!!
CONGRATS TO NORMASGIRL FOR THE FTF!!! WAY TO GO!!!
