Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. You must decrypt the puzzle below to find the true coordinates to the kid's cache. The cache container is a camouflaged ammo box. Most of the way is by sidewalk but some bushwhacking is required to retrieve the final cache. The area is muddy after heavy rains.


On a sun-drenched atoll in the South Pacific stands the world famous Captain Louie’s Pickle Sauce Pizza Emporium. Three generations of Pickle Sauce Heads have owned and operated this establishment. What makes their restaurant “world renowned “ is their famous Pickle Sauce Head Pissaladiere (or Pizza). Pissaladiere is a southern French specialty developed in the Provence region of France. For the people of Provence, fresh vegetables, olives, herbs and fresh fish are staples in their diet. Pissaldiere is made with a short list of ingredients with strong flavors. The name is derived from the word “pissalat,” which is a type of preserved (in pickle sauce) salty fish cake. Recipes of today use anchovies in lieu of the fish cakes. Along with the anchovies, caramelized onions and olives are added to create this delicious concoction.

Across the road, archrival “Sushi Sam”, owner of the low-ranked fast-food restaurant called The Sushi Slab, watches as patrons pass by his business on their way to Captain Louie’s across the street. For six months, since the grand opening of his restaurant, “Sushi Sam” has not had a single customer. Determined to succeed, “Sushi Sam” has now resorted to devious methods in gaining Captain Louie’s customers. “Sushi Sam” spends most of his time plotting to steal the recipe for Captain Louie’s Pickle Sauce. It is common knowledge that Captain Louie keeps a piece of paper with the coordinates to his family's secret recipe locked in his office safe. “Sushi Sam”, knowing this, has enlisted the services of “Benny the Bomber” and his crew to obtain the captain’s secret family recipe.

That night, “Benny the Bomber” and his gang break into Captain Louie’s Pizza Emporium to steal the recipe. Back in the office, they attempt to open the safe with explosives. Unfortunately one of Bennie's bombers is too eager to open the safe and blows up the entire safe along with destroying the secret family recipe coordinates and several jars of pickle sauce in the process. Sticky and covered in paper; an embarrassed Benny and his gang slip and slide their way out of the restaurant. Not wanting to find out what “Sushi Sam” will do to them for botching the job; Bennie and his gang make their way down to the beach in an attempt to get off the island.

Clarence the fry cook, who is usually the first to arrive at the restaurant, makes the terrible discovery the next morning. Clarence has been a fry cook and friend to Captain Louie for the past 40 years. Looking at the devastation, Clarence realizing that he has not only lost his job but that his friend, Captain Louie, has lost his business. As Clarence begins to cry over his predicament, he notices pieces of paper stuck to the floor. He follows the path of paper and pickle sauce with his eyes as it trails off towards the beach. An idea suddenly pops into his head. If he can salvage all the pieces of paper, he can then find the location for the family recipe and help his friend Captain Louie rebuild his restaurant. Clarence begins making his way down the beach, following the trail of sticky paper. It is now your job to unscramble the words that Clarence has collected and find the coordinates to Captain Louie's famous family recipe.
