There was a cache earlier this year that was in the middle of the Mississippi
(so the coords said). It wasn't Island Dave's or Myotis's but someone whose
name didn't appear very often. No one had ever found it and I think it was
finally archived because of all the complaints in the logs. I think Glenn or
Barramus might remember more details.
Jim,
I wouldn't think he was talking about Cedar. The answer to the equation
provided two correct answers but only one was logical. I don't think he was
trying to mislead anyone with bad coordinates.

I received/exchanged some email from wadcutter in Mid. Dec. as a result of
him logging in minutes behind us at several caches. (He was so close behind us
he had our vehicle and license plate memorized, but we never saw him). Seemed
like a decent fellow.
In one message (we were discussing a cache that is known to be 300+ ft. off -
Glen you know which one I'm talking about), he made a comment that was almost
verbatim to his post 2 weeks later on Dec 31 in the forums - that someone he
met on the trail in the St. Louis area had told him they intentionally placed
listed the coordinates of a cache in the middle of the Mississippi in order to
mess with fellow geocahcers.
We all know if one was listed in the middle of the Mississippi it would be
noticed by someone around here almost immediately, but afterwards I began to
wonder if maybe the body of water was miscommunicated and the K-only cache is
what I suspected it was about.
