Puzzle and cache
Cache is *NOT* at the posted coordinates.
But it's close, and it is indeed on the 405. 
Don't go onto the freeway; solve the puzzle below instead!
Argh, that road can get so crowded sometimes! 
Here are some nice, uncrowded, more peaceful places to drive.
Driving directions to the cache:
Start in Virginia and head north to New Jersey.
Next stop is Maine; drive from there to South Carolina.
After you end up in Oregon you should head back to
California and go grab that cache!
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
Goodies for FTF include a homemade FTF tag, a $1 James Madison coin and a trackable turtle (to represent the slow speed of heavy traffic on that wacky 405 ).
Happy trails to you!
Congratulations to carlosguerrera and mcgmarauders for braving the traffic and being FTF!
This puzzle is best done (and easier) on a desktop. If you have to use a smartphone or tablet, these links will work better than the links above: 1 2 3 4 5
