You thought this cache would be something creepy huh?  It is place close to a very old cemetery.  Who are Larry, Moe and Curly?  Well if you did not know, it is the Three Stooges, they were an American vaudeville and comedy team, best known for short subject films for Columbia Pictures, made famous by their physical farce and slapstick comedy.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.

This is poifect FUN style geocache to find because it is in 3 Stooges...er,...stages. But don't worry as it is all easy, short walking. Solving the quick puzzle below will take you to...not the final but the first stage we call the Larry stage! Larry has the coordinated info that will tell you where Moe is, and in turn Moe will rat out Curly at the final. Before you know it you will have found the Three Stages! er....Stooges...

This cache is part of the 2019 Fantastic Unbelievable Nonsense Geocoin Challenge where everything is made up and the points don't matter. If it's been FUN, it probably happened in Spokane. Please be sure to visit the 3 Stooges wing at the newly renovated Spokane International Museum of Science and Art in downtown Spokane, WA. Along the way we hope you will successfully complete the FUN Geocoin Challenge so you will be rewarded with a trackable Geocoin, and that's better than a poke in the eye!
  • All caches begin with the series name FUN: followed by a snazzy name so they are easy to search. We also made a FUN Bookmark of the caches.
  • To qualify for a Geocoin, find the code word or stamp in each geocache and record it on your passport.
  • Visit FUN Geocoin Challenge to find the challenge rules, a printable FUN Passport, and a map view of qualifying caches. Oh, and if you see MtnGoat50 (or you ARE MtnGoat50) during your travels for this challenge, please remember to add 5,000 points to your personal total.

Homemade Coord Checker (because your solving for the first stage, not the final so the regular checker won't work):
Using the last three digits of your solved North coords, start with 300 and subtract that number. Subtract from the result 171. If you come up with 3 then you are correct.
Using the last three digits of your solved West coords, start with 300 and subtract that number. Add 81 to that result. If you come up with 3 then you are correct.

If you have both correct you can be confident you have the coordinates to the first stooge...
