This is the only cache in the series that is not dedicated to a particular recording by the Firesign Theatre.

This is the Mystery Cache of the series. This is the one you've been gathering clues for.

4 or 5 Crazy Guys is the name they gave their publishing company. I've always thought it described them perfectly.

This one is off the beaten track.  I've hidden the 4 or 5 Crazy Guys cache where I did for a couple of reasons:
1) It's my belief that caches beget caches.  So, take an ammo can with you and give me a reason to head back out there.
2) The area needs a good cache since there are none presently.
3) I thought the final cache in this series deserved to hide in an area that is not frequented by many adventurers.

You'll want to take at least half a day to go after this one because of ingress and egress.  I suggest coming in from the south as the view near the end is quite nice.  However, you can do just as well by going in from the north.  There is also a road that comes in from the east but, I know nothing about that road.

The trip will take you on a road that you would not want to bring your Jaguar XK8 on, but any high clearance vehicle can handle the trip.  During the winter you may need 4 wheel drive in the high country.  The road out, or in,depending on your method of approach, will take you through a historic mining district.

This is one in a series of caches based on recordings by the Firesign Theatre.

There were 17 caches in all. You can see the Bookmark List here to check out the original caches. Initially, these caches all held clues to find the final cache, The Firesign Theatre: 4 or 5 Crazy Guys but since so many of them have been archived, the puzzle is now impossible. I (NevadaWolf) am removing the puzzle portion of this cache page. If you are working on the final cache, email me through my profile and I'll send you the coordinates to the final until I can figure out something to make of it.

The Firesign Theatre have won three Grammy nominations, two of them for Best Comedy CDs in 1998 and 2001. Both these works, "Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death" and "The Bride of Firesign," take place on-the-air, combining a mastery of audio production with the entertainment techniques of radio's historic "golden age."  

Firesign got its start on the surprise "underground" hit, "Radio Free Oz" in 1966. Within a few months, the "Oz" boys landed a record contract with Columbia and began writing, producing and performing a series of LP's (currently reissued on CD by laugh.com) that would strike the psychedelic funny bone of a generation. By the time they sold out Carnegie Hall in 1974, they had gone past cult status and were entering the language.  

Favorite bits from Firesign's 1970 radio series were collected on the best-selling LP (later CD), "Dear Friends." Collectors have scoured eBay for rare copies of the later "Let's Eat!" series and many other unreleased radio shows and broadcast performances. Long-time NPR listeners may remember Firesign's unconventional "Campoon Chronicles" coverage of the 1980 Presidential election for "Morning Edition."  

The quartet may be seen performing some of their classic sketches, including "Nick Danger" and "High School Madness," on the recent Rhino DVD, "Weirdly Cool." Some fifteen CDs, collecting their work from 1967 to 2001, are currently in print, several of them on labels from Australia and the U.K.
