The cache is not at the posted coordinates. What you will find there instead is the entrance to a really cool tunnel. By gathering information from this first stage, you will be able to determine the coordinates for the final stage of this multi-cache.

---

The cache is located at N 39 AB.CDE W 104 FG.HIJ.

To determine the final coordinates, you must examine the tiles in the tunnel to figure out the answers below:

A = The number of large skateboard dudes in primary colors.
B = The second number on the pole vaulter's shirt.
C = The number on the green basketball player.
D = The total number of baseball diamonds in the tunnel.
E = The number spelled out on the bottom of the skateboard.
F = The number of animals on the Denver Zoo tile.
G = Same as D.
H = Number of letters in the top line of the Academy Art tile.
I = Same as C.
J = The first number on the pole vaulter's shirt.

The checksum for A-J is 30.

I want to thank animjason for sponsoring and maintaining this cache, and my dad, fearthefish, for helping me set this up.

I solved for the coordinates a long time ago, and today made the find. All is in good shape. Thanks for the fun!

Was out exploring Parker with CVA64 and picked up some nice caches including this one! Took a minute to find the log/note with the new instructions! Thanks for placing this one - what a nice, musical tunnel!

Thanks FearTheFish for your note on December 15th to keep this multi going. When I arrived and saw the new paint my heart sank a bit, as I knew the information on the cache page was gone. Luckily I read through the comments to get the alternative solution. I enjoyed listening to the music as I worked out my figures. And a fun hide at the final too! I'm dropping a favorite point for this one, although it would be helpful to cachers if the alternative solution was listed on the cache page.
I signed a crazy multi challenge that requires me to get 100 of these - only 54 more to go, ha.

After one failed attempt, I got a hint from a previous finder and that pointed me in the right direction. Very nice hide. Nicely done. Signed log.

Thanks LightningMcQueen for giving me a reason to get outside. It’s always worth it when you are enjoying nature. There is nothing better than acting like a kid again, digging through weeds and climbing trees, all to sign my name on a piece of paper.

Found with Cachly for IOS.

I tried and did the tunnel a few years ago. I got the coordinates, but could not find the cache. I think I tried one or two other times with no success. Today I came back, and found it in five minutes.
Even today, I had my hand nearly on it and did not see it at first. I have no idea what makes this cache so hard for me. Once found, it does not seem anything special, but somehow, my eyes always skipped over it.
