The North coordinate is hidden in the magazine this month. Here is the West coordinate for the May 2008 issue. Good luck.

W109 24' 23.2"

Did you hide both coords in the Magazine this month?  I really doubt that or someone would have  brought it up before now on the boards.  I currently have the May 2008 issue and am looking at the coords you just posted.  N38 13' 16.5".  It appears that what we are missing is the West coords.  You folks seem to have a lack of communication amongst yourselves regarding when and what coordinates to post online and print in the magazine.

I'm kinda new to this contest and think it is a great idea but I didn't expect this much confusion from a professional publication.  Having read back on the message boards it appears that this isn't the first time there has been a mixup.

When/where can we expect to find info on the missing West coordinates?

That's perfect for the Easter Jeep Safari folks.  I wish I were closer just to watch the masses decend on the marker.

Ok, so I am new to this. I have been wanting to play for a while. I finally took the time to really find all the coordinates. However, now what the h do I do with them. I did a search online using the coordinates and it's no where near Utah!? Atleast according to google. Someone want to give me a clue on this? Just curious for future reference. Thanks


OK, I figured it out myself. I was entering it wrong!

The North coordinate is hidden in the May 2008 issue of the magazine.

As far as i know the May GeoStash marker is still in the location it was hidden. I have not received any calls or confirmed any finds as of April 12, 1:36 PM PST.

Someone should go grab it and claim the prize.

Yesterday at 5pm I was standing on the coordinates listed above.  GPS accuracy was 15'...we looked and looked, but had no luck finding the marker.  Someone must have already found it.

Would have been nice to get some new tires

Woo Hoo!

I haven't called the number on the plate yet, but I found the May marker!!!

Left this morning at 3:00am (central time) and drove the 14 hours (850 miles) to the stash site between Moab and Monticello, UT, and hiked the last .25 mile.  I knew it was a long shot, since it had been a month since the final coordinates were posted.  My heart sank when I reached the coordinate location, because there were footprints everywhere.  I made one circle of the coord location to positively identify where it should be, turned inward, and walked straight to it!  It was hidden behind/under a small shrub.  There were other persons footprints within 3 feet of the location, but you couldn't see it unless you looked straight down on it.  A few degrees to one side or another and you couldn't see it at all.

I still can't believe that it took this long for someone to find this geostash!  This area is crawling (pun intended) with 4wheelers every day of the week.
Too bad there's not a prize for furthest distance driven to find the geostash!

Well gotta go make a phone call and claim the prize!

My wifey's at a business meeting in the general vicinity of the June Geostash, maybe when they post the correct North coordinates, we can get two Geostashes in a row...lol!

*** it's hard to take a photo of yourself holding the geostash marker when you're by yourself  But I managed it....
