Things With Wings Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

West Texas Reviewer: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so the cache is being archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 15 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the West Texas Reviewer.

Geocache Description:

This is an easy one but as usual I am going to make you work just a little bit. The above coordinates are NOT the location of the cache although they are in the same general part of town.

To find the actual cache location you must fill in the digits of the final coordinates given below by answering the following questions about Houston area caches that have some relationship to things with wings.

Final Coordinates:

N 29º AB.CDE

W 095º FG.HIJ

A = How many tries did it take Billy H. to find the namesake cache in a park honoring seven lost astronauts?

B = How old was the older of the two children the TerraTrekkers noted at a cache at Hodges Bend cemetery in Sugar Land?

C = How many geocoins did Neuman leave in a cache at the end of a runway near Angleton?

D = At a virtual cache in the Oak Forest area, dadJ mentioned how many times he had seen one of those birds close-up before. How many was it?

E = Team Troglodyte reached a milestone when they found their ???? cache in Cullen Barker Park. (Divide this number by 20 to get the answer.)

J = How many Wonder Dogs found another (now archived) cache in the same park that this cache is in? (Hint: geowyz found the cache the same day.)

Not only is cheating allowed, it is encouraged! Feel free to ask the cache teams mentioned above for hints if you get stuck, however please don’t ask publicly on these pages and don’t post any answers. Please try to keep to the theme of the cache when leaving trade items - you actually have a lot of leeway when you think about it! Have fun!
