Geocache Description:

It's a wacky expression for a title, I know. But read on...

Of course, it's not at the published coordinates.
You must use each of the following 34 letters

AAAAAA
B
D
EEE
F
I
K
LLL
M
OOOO
P
RRR
S
TTTT
UU
V

to fill in the **dashes** in the words appearing in the numbered list below. (A missing letter in each word is represented either by a - or a ?.) By replacing the dashes with the letters above, you will then be able to work out the identity of letters shown as question marks. This information will aid you in locating the cache.

1) - ? ? - (4 letter word)
2) - - - ? ? - - (7 letter word)
3) - ? ? - - (5 letter word)
4) - - ? - (4 letter word)
5) - - ? ? - - - (7 letter word)
6) ? ? - - - - - - (8 letter word)
7) - ? ? - - - - - (8 letter word)
8) - - - ? - (5 letter word)

To help even further, I provide some synonym clues to each word although I'm not saying which word goes with which synonym to make it more interesting!

Happy puzzling! On a sunny summer's evening the cache site is a beautiful peaceful spot, but this year you are unlikely to see it in its full glory.
