This Cache is not at the posted coords... so dont go there... cuz there is nothing there... unless you really want to... but I wouldn't... Just saying...

This cache series will be focused on high adventure caches that hold treasure for explorers of all ages. The original intent of this cache was to have folks log it as a note until they completed the series but apparently that is considered a geocaching agenda so we wont be doing that, however if you choose to focus on the adventure instead then we got something for ya. Enjoy.

Its time to strap on those chutes boys and girls and head up for parachute trivia! Answer the six questions for the coords but dont worry if you must activate your reserve for help I will be here for you!
1. If two people go up to jump a MC-4 parachute, and neither one of them is James Bond or Chuck Norris, how many total parachutes do they have between them?
2. What is the oscillation angle of an MC-6 parachute system?
3. How many barrel nuts are on the risers of the T11-R? Then subtract one.
4. On a 15 ft. extraction parachute, the bag-closing tie is one turn double 8/? cotton thread
5. How many jumps have you made? Take that number and subtract it with the same number.
6. How many inspection checks are conducted when packing the MC-6 for jumping?
Final coords are:
N 38 47.1*2*3* W 104 55.4*5*6*
HAVE FUN!

It was a beautiful Colorado spring morning, so we got out on the trails early to enjoy God’s handiwork. We ended up hiking 10+ miles with 2700+ feet of elevation gain. We summited Mounts Buckhorn and Kineo, so we enjoyed some awesome views. What a great day!
We solved this puzzle quite a long time ago but without a checker, we weren’t sure if our coords were correct. We were in the area today so we decided to search for it. We were excited when we made the find - this cache has been lonely for almost 4 years. Signed the log and replaced container as found. Thanks for the fun and challenging puzzle cache. BTW, gampa took 5 “rides” under a T-1 canopy at Ft Benning back in the 70s.

We were getting pretty tired by time we made it to this one, but being so close we couldn't let it go. Thanks for the puzzle!

Fun but long hike with Snailman1, Hartsdale and my son.
Hartsdale already got this one so the rest of us signed the log.
Glad to finally get this one. We had perfect weather to be up there today.
Thanks

Hi - Without a doubt my longest-ago "solved" puzzle... without a checker I earned a story to tell!
You know how there's a D rating for caches; and a T rating; well coming at this one from <.4 miles due west to hold the elevation as indicated on the gpsr's topo screen... my "Incredulity-rating" was running about a 6.3. No possible way anyone wrangled a hike out to this uber-random location to drop a cache. My solution from all those years back must be wrong. Mayhaps way wrong. While I was hiding under a big rock overhang, .19 mi still to go and the thunderstorm was beginning to mix in some sleet pellets, I was just thinking "Oy. "
When it let up and I continued following the device pointer down to "zero" feet indicated... I looked up & there was the pod !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In perfect shape, of course, in it's home Smile
Still several of those cool PT's in here to lure you in !

Did the puzzle a few weeks ago when I thought I was going to be in the area. I emailed the CO because I wasn't sure about one of the answers. Got a response the next morning which was good because the one I was worried about was right but one I was certain of was wrong. Made the hike up there today on a glorious fall day. Just beautiful out there. Thanks for the puzzle and the help and the hike. SLTNLN TFTC
