Geocache Description:

As the song goes (well, almost), It's a Long Way to Tertiary.

This is a mystery cache and the cache container is NOT located at the posted coordinates. It is many miles away -- a Long Way -- from the posted coords, but within the same city.

42-100-100-255-179-0/0-0-0-0-0-0/60-100-100-255-255-0/0-0-0-0-0-0/240-100-100-0-0-255/60-100-100-255-255-0/120-100-50-0-127-0/0-0-0-0-0-0/240-100-100-0-0-255/81-88-78-138-200-25/42-100-100-255-179-0/16-100-100-255-70-0/240-100-100-0-0-255/16-100-100-255-70-0/16-100-100-255-70-0

When you think you've solved the puzzle, use the Geochecker link (below) to test your coordinates. The answer must be exact. If you're right, you'll find a bison tube at those coordinates that will give you coords for the final cache location.

The final container is a plastic screw-top cylinder, about 1 1/2" x 6". You will probably need to locate the container by feel. Watch your step! A misstep at the final could mean a concussion (or worse), especially in bad weather -- cache at your own risk; move carefully.

The final location gets a surprising amount of muggle traffic at times. Please rehide well, and try to make yourself uninteresting to muggles, who can appear suddenly.

To claim a find on this cache: To get credit for the find, each finder must have signed the log book using his or her registered caching name. Please make it readable. Do not leave political, religious, or pornographic items in this cache. I do check, and finds violating these rules will be deleted. Thanks, and enjoy the hunt.
