Geocache Description:

Premium Membership Series

To put it simply, somewhere out there right now, is my BONUS 15th cache. Contained within that cache is a FTF prize of $30! Not only that, but there is a 2nd to find prize of $20, and a 3rd to find of $10! (PRIZES FOUND!) How could you resist? So this is what you do:

1. Find each of my 14 caches in the surrounding area.

2. Each cache will contain either a BONUS clue (puzzle or otherwise), or directions to an offset cache with a clue.

3. Compile all the 14 clues to discover the location of the final 15th BONUS cache.

4. You can work as a group or individually; the only thing I ask it that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to finders be Premium Members.

It’s that easy, so get cracking! And I hope you have as good a time as I had putting this together. GOOD LUCK!

This is a stand-alone cache with a virtual offset that is quite a distance (about a mile and a half) from the cache site. You may want to stop after finding the cache; or if you like, you can venture on to find the virtual offset. The coordinates to this virtual offset are in the "Fossil Rock" cache on laminated paper. Please copy this information on your own paper and leave the laminated paper for others to find.

Now, on to the cache details:

Have you ever wondered about the possibility of a world wide flood? I’m no geologist, but there is evidence all around us! The rock you are about to visit is just such a place. This rock and many just like it are nothing more than a giant fossil record! These outcroppings are all over; you see them everyday on local roads and highways. This cache will give you the excuse to stop and take a look.

The seashell on top of this rock is what closed the deal for me placing this cache here. There are many such however, and this is but one fossil to muse over. However if you are interested, you can try to find this shell at these coords:

N37 02.639 W93 23.968

Please, and thank you for placing the cache back exactly the way you found it.
