Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You DO NOT have to enter Peterson AFB or any other restricted area to retrieve this cache.
You have two options to find the final coordinates for this cache.

1. Visit each of the caches in my dmbfan73 chirp list possibilities bookmark list with your Garmin Chirp compatible device and chirp searching enabled. When you're at the correct cache location (and within 30ft of the chirp) your GPS will download the final coordinates to your unit.

2. For those without a Garmin device and without the ability to detect chirps, visit each of my caches looking for the Chirp password. Once you have the password, visit http://*password*.blogspot.com/ where you replace the text *password* with the password you find in the correct cache.

Final is a decon kit.

Note about using Chirps: I knew the location of the chirp, and it still took about 1-2 min for my device to pick it up. I found that turning the chirp searching off and then back on again sometimes helped with the chirp acquisition. Also, if you come across the password while you're out caching, the chirp and password are very closely located... so you can either visit the website or turn on chirp searching at that point and download the final coordinates immediately.

I recommend holding your GPS unit flat and waist high while searching. Also, I think it helps to have it plugged into to external power to boost your GPS signal strength.

Congrats to OF-Erad for FTF using the chrip!

Went out this afternoon to get the final since my muggle husband (huggle?) agreed to accompany me. The log book is soaked and I didn’t bring any replacements with me. I was able to sign it with “CJill”, but it might turn into a blue blob. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find. TFTC.
