Geocache Description:

Cache and dash, then shop 'til you drop...

The cache is not at the listed coordinates! It's a puzzle! This is a mall cache, in the vein of davee-n-cachincarrie's Walk Like An Egyptian at the Pyramid Mall in Lansing (outside Ithaca), Peppermill 6-Pack's Mall Rats at the Eastview Mall in Victor, and coterm59's Mall Madness II at the Carousel Mall in Syracuse. This is our version at the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City.

To find the location of the cache, go inside the mall and find a directory of the stores. Each store has a number next to it. Use the following coordinates, with the appropriate numbers filled in:

N42 07.abc
W75 58.def

a = Macy's (third digit)
b = Eddie Bauer (first digit)
c = Friendly's (second digit)
d = Sear's (first digit)
e = HSBC (second digit)
f = Bon Ton (second digit)

Obviously, the mall must be open for you to be able to get inside and find a directory. Mall hours, typically, are 10 AM to 9 PM (Monday-Saturday) and 11 AM to 7 PM (Sunday). For updates, please check out www.oakdalemall.com.

The cache is located outside the mall. Please use stealth, and be sure to replace the cache as you found it. Good luck, enjoy the mall, and happy caching!
