Geocache Description:

This is one of the six (6) "legs" to the "South Sound Boondoggle Series". At each of the six "legs" (caches), you not only find another cache for your repertoire but find one of the six needed clues to the final cache.

This is the cache page for the (replacement) of Leg 4 of the cache Series affectionately known as the "South Sound Boondoggle Series".

The original Boondoggle Series Leg 4 was in an undesirable location.  This new/replacement cache is in a completely different location.

The cache for this "leg" is a rectangular shaped 3 dimensional Army container thingamajig (an Ammo Can).

Don’t attempt this cache with the web posted coordinates. The above coordinates pointed to the nearest green salamander that happened to appear just after I hid the cache.  To obtain the actual coordinates for the cache, you need to answer the really really fun question shown below.

Which magical land did author L. Frank Baum create?

Your answer to the really really fun question is:

North Coord.

West Coord.

Shangri-la N 46o 53.211 W 122o 41.623
Oz N 46o 52.543 W 122o 42.947
Valhalla N 46o 50.866 W 122o 42.113
Nirvana N 46o 51.482 W 122o 40.484

OK ... on the same row and to the right of your answer to the really really fun question above are the coordinates for this "leg".  So ... get up off your chair and go find it!!

Other than being able to trade really really cool junk in this cache, what you are wanting to obtain from this cache is a letter (just one monstrously important Big Bold Letter) which you will need (along with the other five letters obtained from the other five cache "legs") in order to be able to find the final cache.

On the webpage for the "South Sound Boondoggle Series - Final II" will be the "formula" for converting the six letters that you found in the six cache "legs" to the coordinates for the final cache.
