Wondrous Numbers Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

teamajk: My local helper cachbefound has confirmed that this one has gone missing again. [:(] After talking it over, we agree that the location just doesn't seem viable, and with regret, I am archiving it. Thanks to everyone who solved it and came out to make the find. The last DNF'r has been invited to claim the find, based on the fact that the cache would have been found, had it been there.

Geocache Description:

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. The puzzle below will give you the actual cache coordinates, which are within two miles. 


I have just returned home after spending a week in the Bay area finding mostly puzzle caches, some of which I had solved years ago. Since I live in an area that is nowhere near as puzzle-rich as it is around here, I enjoy solving puzzles long-distance with no real expectation of ever being able to make the finds. Making some finds out here (and meeting many of the CO's of those puzzles) has really been the icing on the cake.

Some people don't understand why anyone would take the trouble to solve puzzles for caches they may never have any chance of finding. For me, the hunt for the numbers that will lead to a cache can be just as fun as finding the caches themselves. When I've spent hours (or days or even weeks) looking high and low for a solution, seeing those wondrous numbers appear is really exciting. The following wondrous numbers will lead you to a cache I left behind during my recent trip (many thanks to cachbefound for agreeing to maintain it for me).

8, 20, 49, 50, 10, 129, 219, 175, 4
