Can you handle the Geowhopper???

Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates, please solve the puzzle to get the correct set. There is no need to venture on to the Academy to do anything either.
There will be a little puzzle work to get through but nothing too hard. Everything you need to go on can be found on the Groundspeak site.

Here is the puzzle:

North AB CD.EFG West H-ZERO-I JK.LMN

That should get you started.

You are in for a fun hike to the final from any approach. Be watchful for ice on the trails in the winter, it was really bad in spots when I placed this cache at the beginning of January (along my route).

Final is a 30 caliber ammo can, a few trade items for the kids if they want to go. Have fun and good luck!

A Co-FTF congratulations to ernie66, mtn_goat, and vorticity!

THe SKuLL and I planned to grab a few caches in this area. I was pleasantly surprised when I found he already solved this puzzle. Nice area for a rest stop on our way to the next one. TFTC.

I finally decided to come back up to this area. KJKlock and I had a lot of fun on the climb, but we both walked away with scrapes and bruises on the way back down. Watch that ice!! --- Also, don't decide it would be fun to try and slide down a short bit on your unprotected rear-end. I even ripped a small hole in my pants. HEHE!

I've had this solved a couple/few years, but I haven't been back in this area for a long while. We got to this one when it was still a bit chilly out. It's a great hiding spot, but we were after better views. So, we headed up higher.

TFTC!

Didn't pursue this correctly at the first attempt and dead-ended. Solved after the fact with the help of a hint. Nice puzzle and I always like finding a regular in a great location - thanks!

It took me a while to figure out how to solve this one but once I got pointed in the right direction it was fairly easy. It's always nice to find an ammo can in the woods. Thanks for a reason to revisit a favorite area. TFTC

Had a great time hiking in Stanley canyon today with a good group of people including thebobcats, thegeocachekids, and STORM1515. Unfortunately we had to turn back only 1/3 of a mile from the reservoir due to the immanent threat of an afternoon thunderstorm. Good thing we left when we did, as the storm practically chased us out of the canyon. We could hear a warning being broadcast over the AFA loudspeakers (" Lightning has struck within 5 miles, please seek shelter immediately! "). This reminded me of the time that we had to take shelter on the Tragedy Final hike. Thankfully we didn't have to this time. We will go back to this area again so we can make it to the reservoir and maybe explore the Goat Creek Camp Area and Eagle Mtn.

TFTC!
