Tax Day Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

brave.eagle: Went to check on the cache today and found that it is missing, the area is now fenced, and the area is also a home for homeless folks. Not a good place for a cache, unfortunately.

I will redo this one soon and place it closer to our new office downtown. I'll even try to keep it an ammocan.

Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE FAKE!! THEY DO NOT LEAD TO THE CACHE!! Solve the quiz below to get the actual coordinates.

To celebrate the close of my 18th tax season, I decided to celebrate by hiding a cache. The cache is full of SWAG that only an accountant would truly appreciate, but help yourself to it regardless. :) $20 is enclosed to help the FtF pay their taxes. And a cool patriotic GeoCoin. Enjoy!
