Geocache Description:


Jhttp://youtu.be/WHBF6RtFFNs

Hey Buddy......wake up......are you Mr. Van Winkle?  .....lol......adjacent to the public restrooms you will find a fella aka "The Traveler" who is a bronze life like statue who appears to be a real person that has fallen asleep while waiting for his flight to leave MCO......and the locals have even gone to the point of encasing him in a plexiglass shell so nobody will disturb his slumber.  In order to capture this virtual geocache, please accomplish the following.  ALL ARMCHAIR FINDS WILL BE DELETED, THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS A MUST TO CLAIM A FIND. 

1. Email or message to Scooby Patrol the brand name written on top of the maroon colored duffle bag to his left. Please be sure not to include this answer in your log when you post your find.  That way we can ensure that those who found him were truly there.

2.  Take a picture of yourself or your group or your geocaching device or thumbs up sign with the snoozing traveler and post it to your find or email or auto message.

In order to better find this cache since it is indoors, there is an outdoor waypoint that will take you to a sign with a clearly posted number in black and white.  From here, you can use these numbers to make some quick calculations in order to better track down our snoozing buddy at ground zero.  

Outside Waypoint Calculation Instructions:

Take the number found on the sign and assign the first number as A and the second number as B.

Level of the terminal you will find the final location: (A+B) divided by 2.

TSA gate check point nearby:  Gate numbers (A+A+B)0 through (A)29

Additional clue:  Overhead sign just steps away from the final location: this will have gate numbers posted on it for 
the following gate numbers listed as (A) through (B)9

Good luck and Happy Caching!

Scooby Patrol & DirtyD13

P.S. A big thanks to our pal DirtyD13 for the idea behind the location for this virtual reward and a big CONGRATS to our caching buddies CelebrationKim for the FTF!!!!  Way to go!!!
