Geocache Description:


Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Solve the Puzzle.

 

The first 466 miles of the Appalachian Trail  pass through only three states as it runs north from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. After Dave moves he will be able to say that he has lived in all three of these states. He actually owned several geocaches in Prime locations on the Appalachian Trail when he lived in the state to the west of the one he is moving to. 

 

One day soon Dave will unfortunately have to go home to PTC and load his two Coon cats up into his Nissan to drive them up Northeast to their new home. They seem to travel okay because they did all right when they moved down from a town in the eastern part of a state to PTC. The name of the town they moved from has 5 letters in it and the sum of the number values of those letters is 69, not that the cats care because they can't count. If you got the city, you are a winner. If not, take one of the "n"s out.

 

Gang Geezer has enjoyed our time with Dave, and not just because he lived in PTC and owned a golf cart! And not because he owns an inflatable Kayak, although this was not what Nit and Wit used on the Mississippi River. Sometimes he went Rogue on us, but usually came back around pretty quickly.

 

Hopefully he will manage to be First To Find on this one.
