i think that was the Mark Twain cache by AJpol. the same cacher that placed
the Endicott Park cache in St. Johns and the milti cache along the railroad
track that was
ugly http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=3638, .
it was a multi cache all on the river, jet skis were required. a few folks
tried to find it but never could.

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.
