Geocache Description:


"(My wife) thinks I've gone too far by moving Berkshire County TB's around knowing you're looking for them. If I have, I apologize. It's a game. I was just playing the game, trying to make it fun. That's all." -Gary

Yes Gary, I think that your shenanigans are a riot. Now it's time for me to have some fun.

You can all thank Gary for this cache. It is a challenging one. For the most part, unless you have special equipment or a specific skill set, it will be tough to find. Many of you will just "block" this cache from coming up in your "caches to be found" page, and YOU SHOULD! As for Gary, I hope that you keep it up for a while as a reminder that "having fun" at the expense of others AND not listening to the advice of your wife is TOTALLY NOT COOL!

Anyway, just in case you think you may enjoy a challenge let me give y'all the lowdown on this cache. It is a two-parter. The second, and final part is in a beautiful section of October Mountain State Forest that I wanted to keep all to myself. The last time I was there I placed a cache very close to where I found a shed (antler, not the kind you put a mower in). The first part is 15 feet under at Onota Lake. I didn't use SCUBA to place it the second time around; all I needed was a mask and a deep breath. Oh yeah, you'll need a boat to get there too. There is no access from the shore as it is posted. There is a dog license attached to a fist-sized yellow bouy that is attached to a lead weight. All you have to do is swim down and retrieve the numbers that are on the license and use them to find part two. If you bring the weight up to more closely examine the dog tag, be sure to drop it back down where you found it! On a calm day in clear water you may be lucky enough to see the bouy.

I'm really excited for you Gary. I think you'll have a lot of fun with this one soon (but I won't hold my breath).

Here are the coordinates for the final:
42*21.ABC
073*13.DBA
*Disregard the year the license was issued
A = The first number on the license
B = The fourth number multiplied by the second number plus the third number minus the first number
C = The first number plus the second number
D = The third number minus the second number
