This cache isn't at the posted coordinates ..... and here's the story that explains why the coordinates are incorrect.

I had just just placed the cache and was about to get the coordinate fix on the spot when an apparition appeared. She had antennae and many tentacles on top of her head. She said she was from Mars and she was lost, so could she please borrow my GPS receiver? She was very nice about it and returned it to me shortly, but she must have reset it to some other number system, because the coordinates that I saved for the cache were:

N 23 01.5799 W 068 08.7600

To find the cache, just figure out how many tentacles she must have had on top of her head.

It seems to have become a tradition that the Friday before CacheaPalooza a few of us get together to go caching. After hiding and planning and moving and maintaining caches for the last few months, we are eager to find them. Last year we had a small group with over 20K total finds. This year with the addition of Team Alamo, Team Snook and Turtletoes/Biggie, we were closer to 73000 total finds! Also with us were: Hipointer & Capiti, Dennis the Menace 2, Billedm, Gator Man, Butterdish and myself.
Thanks for the cache! Smile
Another MUST FIND cache for Lee!

Another FTF!

I had the privilege to cache with some of the best today as the Friday Morning Breakfast Bunch. The logs were signed as FMBB. Rnrrgrl added up all the caches done by all of us and between us there were over 72000 finds. This was one of 53 that I found today. TFTH
