Geocache Description:

I promised to place a Mystery cache so you could find it, get another Smiley, and possibly get another Souvenir for your profile page.  I got the needed information and found a place to put the cache just a short walk from the given coordinates. Now I had everything in my GPS and headed for home.


The next day, I started on my trip to North Dakota. A few days later, I sat in my hotel room in Lincoln, Nebraska watching the rain come down. I now had time to get the cache written up. I searched for the file with the cache info in it. I can’t find it. OOPS! I must have deleted it.

Even though I’m 1000 miles from home, I can still create a Mystery cache for you. I used a little Geocaching improvisation and came up with this:

Close to the given coordinates, you will find a large engine on display. We know it’s a gasoline engine because the spark plugs are still in it. Under the spark plugs is a name plate with the Model Number, Serial Number, and Patent Number.

Serial Number = ABCDEF

Patent Number = TUVWXYZ

You will find the container at N26 CD.WEZ W98 CU.A (V-B)(F+C).

There will be no Puzzle Checker for this cache because it is a field puzzle. If you performed the calculations correctly, at the final coordinates you will see a tree and a lamp skirt close together.
