Geocache Description:


I have lots of friends celebrating anniversaries this month. I needed to get gifts for them since they are all having parties in their honor. There are so many parties I am having a hard time keeping them all straight. I have had to do a lot of planning and shopping but I think I managed everything successfully. I got gifts that are appropriate for the anniversary being celebrated. Now I just have to remember when the parties are scheduled.

When I was done shopping I took a break to go for a walk in the woods. I had an ammo can with me when I left but I must have been so distracted by all my shopping that I forgot what I did with it. I remember that I was thinking about the parties and the gifts that corresponded to them. Perhaps if I think very carefully about who gets which gift and when they are having their party it will help me find my ammo can.

I remember that the first party I have to go to is for Paul and Ivana. I picked up a nice cotton afghan for them to use while snuggling up together.

I know I bought John and Tracy a crystal bowl. It’s very nice and I’m sure they will like it when I give it to them at their party on the 12th.

I am skipping the party for Adam and Kimberly the next night. I’m not getting them a gift either. That’s right, they get nothing. Not even a card.

I bought Howard and Lori matching leather wallets. I’m sure they will love them when they open them at their party on the 6th.

Harley and Linda will love their matching leather jackets at their party two weeks later.

I can’t remember when I have to go to the party for Tom and Pam, I just know it is before John and Tracy’s party but after Howard and Lori’s. Tom and Pam just started geocaching so I bought them a book about it to help them learn the ropes.

Scott and Natalie’s party is exactly three weeks after Tom and Pam’s party. I will give them a nice map that they can use to chart their travels together.

Joe and Lauren are a very modern couple so I bought them a nice desk set. Their party is the night before Harley and Linda’s party.

I have a week after Harley and Linda’s party to recover so I can make it to Bill and Sharon’s anniversary party. Their gift will be a nice set of copper pans that they can use to cook in their camper.

I know one of the parties is after Bill and Sharon’s but before the end of the month, but I can’t recall which one.


The ammo can has to be at N42 XX.XXX and W88 XX.XXX. The rest you should be able to figure out from the clues above. If you think you know where to look you can check here.
