Palapa Punch Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

mixtli: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache will take you to two of our favorite locations on the island of Ambergris Caye. If you are staying in town or south of town you will probably need a bike or cart to make the trek a little easier. CartsBelize allows carts to this location.

The coordinates listed are the starting point for this 2 location puzzle cache.

When we were at the starting location, we jumped up on the bar, swung from the rafters and wrote a ‘clue’ high up on one of the large beams. You won’t need to climb to find the clue. The picture below shows what you are looking for. Find this clue, take the date and jot it down, you’ll need it.

Tell Scott and Jodie, and bartender Joe that we said Hello! and have a palapa punch. But if you have more than one, we take no responsibility for your actions.

Add up the numbers contained in the date you saw at the bar (example: 2/14/07 = 2+1+4+0+7=14), add 32 to that number, then plug your result into the XX in the coordinates below:
N 17 XX.880 W 87 58.542

That is where the cache is hidden. You don’t need to get wet to find it. You will see a sign that the pier is for resort guests only but they are well aware of the cache and we got their permission to place it on their property. Beware of muggles hanging out by the pool.
