Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.



A co-worker said to me, "I'm glad we're finally removing some of the old relics. Those things were taking up valuable floor space."

"Hey," I replied, "those machines represent a major milestone in the history of computing."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." he said. "Ancient history."

"Huh," I said, "some of our most powerful modern processors are still backward compatible with those 'relics'."

"Whatever," he replied. Then he whispered, "Look what I found hidden under the raised floor near the 029," and he showed me a dusty envelope containing some punched cards.

I wouldn't have thought much of it, if not for words "Secret Stash" written on the envelope. I feel like I should know what to do, but I can't quite put it together. What do you make of these?



Please bring a pen.
