Geocache Description:


While poking around Nogales one day, I stumbled upon a rather large desert tortoise.  Tortuga is the Spanish word for tortoise.  My friend tugies, who happens to love tortoises and even owns one, modified the word tortuga to make their geocaching name.  This one is a dedicated to the tugie team and a celebration of 93,000 finds and counting.

 

To find the cache go to the tugie at the posted coordinates and look it in the eye and/or face south.

To your left is a disabled parking sign.  On the bottom right of the sign are five numbers.  The first number is A, the second number is B.  

Across the street is a rather large Cinderella neon sign. The second number of the address is C.  Hint, the address only has two digits.

To your right is a metal plaque titled "Rails Make Nogales."  A certain day in October is mentioned twice.  Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.  The result is D.

Walk over to N 31 20.071 W110 56.431.  Here you will find a boulder with a plaque.  Multiply the last number of the year in which Isaacson became Nogales by two.  The result is E.

On the same plaque, find the day of June.  Subtract 3 and you will have F.  

 

Final is located at N31 AF.EBD W110 CC.EDF

 

Have fun, and have a wonderful day tomorrow!
