Geocache Description:

Since I am busy only one time a year, I figured on leaving this here while on vacation. I have asked SilverSurfer73 to look after it for me...

Like I said, I enjoy tanning my bald head here in Hawaii. Everyone always says, "How do you get that gorgeous golden sheen?" Anyway, the above cords will only place you in the middle of a very busy intersection. I figured I would see if you all have time to go to the movie theater. Answer these following questions the answers will fill out the remaining numbers for the cache. I will give you only this for starters, since they seem to be the obvious.

N 21* _ _ . _ _ _
