Just in case you are not familiar with the definition of 143... here are some references:
From Wikipedia:
In text messaging slang, 143 means “I love you,” 1 for the one letter in “I”, 4 for the four letters in “love,” and 3 for the three letters in “you”.
From the Urban dictionary:
A numerical representation of the expression ‘I love you’ where each of the three numbers represents the amount of letters in each of the words.
Used by couples with pagers as a code to constantly remind one another that they still are affectionate. (More commonly used before the wide spread availability of text-messaging cell phones)
” My girl sent 143 to my beeper a thousand times yesterday – she really loves me.”
This is a very easy cache located in a quiet area bordering a golf course.
Cache contents when placed:
Various pin badges
Red fridge magnets
Glow-in-the-dark stars
and of course lots of love inside
Feel free to leave a note in the log book about something or someone that makes your day special.
Follow the clues in final waypoint listed below to find the final cache.
