Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not correct for the cache but will be useful for parking. Solve the puzzle below to get the right ones. The cache is available ONLY from dawn to dusk.

Boppa's In a Fixx series of puzzles are some of my favorites. Substitute numbers for the letters to solve the puzzle. As a reminder, a letter that appears more than once will have the same value where ever it appears.

+ONE
+ONE
+ONE
+ONE
_____
=TEN

Once you have solved that puzzle then take those numbers and substitute them in to the equations below to get the coordinates for the cache.

a=O+E
b=E+E
c=N-T-O
d=E
f=N-E
g=O+O

Cache coordinates:

N47* 15.abc
W122* 19.dfg

Checksum: a+b+c+d+f+g=17

Cache is a 4x4x6 lock-n-lock style container about 15-20 feet from the nearest asphalt. Geocoin for FTF.
