The coordinates given are not correct.  You must find the first four caches of the multi series to discover the 1st set of coordinates for this 2 stage multi LetterBox cache.

Although kekj became a caching team in 2013, we started our partnership when we married in 1975.  One of the ways we are celebrating our Ruby Anniversary (and our 1000th find) is with this multi series.

---

Like marriage, some sections of this multi are easier than others, there are a variety of cache styles, some more puzzling than others and you can’t skip stages, one builds on the one before it.

When you sign/stamp our log, we would love for you to celebrate your own sweetheart by including how many years you have been together as a part of your log.

Be sure and bring your Letterbox Stamp!
An ink pad is provided but best to bring your own in case it dries out. A felt tip works in a pinch

All terrain ratings are for the specific cache but like marriage, the difficulty ratings are cumulative!
NOTE! D5 for this cache is ACTUAL in its own right, not cumulative.
Allow 2-3 hrs minimum to do the entire series (unless your are REALLY GOOD or REALLY lucky!

9-6-15 Based on feedback from first few cachers and a fear that the finial stage LB ammo can might be muggled due to being very close to an area frequented by drinking parties, we moved the finial stage several hundred feet and left a "pointer" cache with the 2nd stage coords. This cache is now a 5D in its own right and terrain rating went from 2.5 to 3.5 on final stage.

Are you kidding me!?!?! The hardest hide I have ever seen! We will put this into our noggin kit of means and ways to look for caches fur sure! The pointer cache was awesome! We enjoyed every bit of what this series had to offer. Sherrie and I have been caching for about a year and a half and we did this series just after our 500th find the day before! Caching has brought us together and rekindled our sense of exploration and adventure! We have been married for almost nine years but together for 16. Congratulations to Kekj on your longevity! We appreciate your creativity and offering to the geocaching community. You are an inspiration to the Cachekings007!

My sisters and I have finally finished the Ruby 4 series. We are newbies so it was very challenging for us. Found the letterbox with a flashlight. We made the smallest sisters climb in the spot. What a great series! Had a tailgate picnic to celebrate.

I started this series well over a year ago and it did not disappoint at all, frustrate maybe, but no regrets. Even after all that time, the stages continued to confuse me as to which cache I was actually on. The pointer cache for this final is certainly a doozy, excellent placement. The final letterbox was filled with so many items, it was a joy to sit and read and take it all in. The past 40 years must have been something wonderful to be a part of. You two COs have had an excellent journey and this series was an extraordinary monument to it all. Thank you so much for all you have done in our local community. My wife and I are only at year 22 but I look forward to many more. Kudos!

Came out and reset the cache based on feedback from previous cachers who found it. Difficulty of 5D remains same but is based on its own rights, not cumulative. 2.5T went to 3.5T for finial stage. Also did minor maintenance on #4 and set 2 more caches on the mesa across the canyon to the south.
