Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must INCORRECTLY solve the releated series of puzzles in order to find the true location of this cache..... It all starts with "GC34RET - This Is A Stake Up".

Definatly BYOP, and a log extraction device could come in handy. Please be careful when putting the log back in the container. And please be sure to return the cap to secure as good a fit as possible.

This is "The Biggest Miss Stake", the NEXT TO LAST in a series of 40 caches that follow the same theme. "What's at stake?".

It all starts with "GC34RET - This Is A Stake Up". In order to ensure that you have everything necessary to solve for the coordinates of the final cache, you'll pretty much have to visit all of the caches in this series. Every cache will have a nicely laminated strip of paper. The slip of paper may or may not contain a clue. Some caches may not have a clue.... some may have information relevant to the puzzle. You'll have to use your smarts to determine if the information is relevant or not.

If you correctly solve the puzzle, the coordinates can be filled in as:
N 40 15.ABC
W 075 2D.EFG

You have to find the correct coordinates for A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Only once you have gathered ALL of the REAL clues, you will be able to locate "The Final Stake In The Ground".

If you have successfully assemembled all of the correct clues, you'll find the location to a container similar to the ones you've found along the way. If you have INCORRECTLY put the clues together, you'll probably find this cache. Don't worrty though, this cache contains a hint which should be a dead give away to how to properly solve the puzzle correctly.

Please be very mindful off the attributes to this cache. The terrain to the final location is rocky, has lots of fallen limbs and is often slippery. I'd highly reccomend bringing along a caching partner on this one. Remember, it is your choice to do this cache or not. Please cache within your limits."
