This should be a relatively easy find, using a new twist developed by Puttzy. (Refer to GC2VZ53 for his well-received original version).
NOTE: The "twist" to this cache is no longer working. So rather than calling Chewy, you'll need to email me with Chewy's phone number. Once I verify that it's correct, you can log the smiley! THERE IS NO CACHE container at this time; that may change in the future if we can get Chewy reconnected!
This is not at all the cache that I had planned to place in this cemetery. As I walked around trying to put my original idea into play, I saw the back of this stone from afar, and decided to check it out. This is one of the reasons I love cemeteries -- you just never know what you'll find. After reading the inscription on the back of the stone, I knew that the deceased had been calling out to me, wanting to be part of this cache. I struggled to include “Chewbacca Buddy” in my original cache idea. Through some weird telepathic messaging, he made it clear that he really wanted to be on his own. The messages continued to come to me over the next few days, as Chewy (as I've come to think of him) slowly but surely shared with me a way we could communicate. When we had perfected our method, he was so excited that he asked that I share it with others so he could continue to be heard. After all, as inscribed on his headstone, he wanted to know if there was “life in our heavens,” and he's thrilled to be able to show us that there is!
To communicate with Chewy, you’ll have to solve for his heavenly phone number using information he has provided on his headstone, which is near the posted coordinates.
Chewy’s phone number: (831-AA) – BBB – CCCC
A = The number of times the word “I” appears at the beginning of a line (not including the title) on the back of the stone. (After finding AA, solve the equation in parentheses to calculate the area code)
B = Subtract 1658 from the year of birth
C = Subtract the year of death from 9894 REMEMBER: Email me with Chewy's correct phone number and then I'll give the go-ahead to log the find. Any logs after 6/25/18 that haven't contacted me with the number will be deleted!
