Geocache Description:

This cache is one of the four 'legs' to the PuzzleMania series.  Inside the micro cache
at each one of these four 'legs' you will find two BIG BOLD NUMBERS which you 
will need to solve the puzzle for the PuzzleMania 'Grand Prize'.

(Inside the PuzzleMania 'Grand Prize' ammo box is three Geocaching.com T-Shirts - one for each of the first three cachers to find the 'Grand Prize' cache!)


THIS CACHE IS A PUZZLE CACHE SO THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE COORDINATES POSTED AT THE TOP OF THIS CACHE PAGE!

The actual coordinates for this cache "leg" are as follows:

So ... go find it!!

Taped to the inside bottom of this cache (altoids can) are two BIG BOLD NUMBERS.

One of these two numbers will be identified as the "Y MINUTES DIGIT" and the other number will be identified as the "ANYWHERE SECONDS DIGIT".  See the cache page for the PuzzleMania "Grand Prize" for further discussion on how these two numbers will be used in order to assemble the coordinates for the final cache.  However, do not lose these two numbers.  They are two of the eight needed "Puzzle Pieces" towards scoring the "Grand Prize"!
