Geocache Description:

This cache is located on one of the Finger Lakes Trails. Recommend
you walk between 1 to 2 more tenths of a mile passed the cache to a
lean too. Beautiful spot to have a backpack style lunch and enjoy
the small gorge. Picnic tables and fire pits are avilable at this
area. The cache container has a FTF trophy, a package of globe key
chians for trading and a log book.

This cache is a spin off of a couple of caches from everybodys favorite geocacher "Vargseld". Nothing to difficult with this one.

All that is required to do this cache, is to rent or buy the movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. (As an added BONUS, we placed a DVD of the movie (free to the first one that gets there) at the posted coordinates. But these are not the actual cache coordinates. The DVD is in a ziplock bag. If you happen to be the one to find the DVD, please post a note on the listing A.S.A.P. so that no one else tries to go get it.) This movie is very similar to what we do when geocaching. The only difference is the people in the movie get told the location of the cache. Where as we have to get coordinates and then go look for the cache. After all we are now more technologically advanced than they were in the 60's. So gather the family get some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the movie. Don't forget to pay attention though. You will have to answer some questions along the way. The coordinates you get from answering the questions are most definetly correct. The answers follow along with the movie in chronological order.

N AA BC.DEF
W GG.HIJ

1) How many times does the man who had the accident say "W"? = A
2) The number of people that stopped at the accident scene before the accident victim kicks the bucket minus 4. = B
3) The number of times Milton Berle makes reference to the way he sailed right out there minus 2. = C
4) The accident took place this many miles West of Valley Center minus 1. = D
5) The number of miles East of Danby Jct. the accident took place divided by 2. = E
6) Subtract the smaller number from the larger number that is on the Route sign after the people searching for the money run the first car off the road. = F
7) The bi-plane the Crumps charter was built in this year minus 1798. This answer will give you the West degrees.
8) The first digit of Mr. Hawthornes license plate number = G
9) How many times Mr. Crump hits the door at the hardware store divided by 4 = H
10) The first digit in the street number for Toy Town = I
11) The number of people at the park looking for the Big "W" not including Capt. Culpepper minus 8 = J

Good Luck figuring out the actual coordinates and Happy Caching! Just remember, it is a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Cache! Please replace cache in its well hidden spot. Thank you.
