First there was GC13R01. Then there was GC3AJNA. Now,
FIG NEWTON RETURNS!
The three identically named caches had/have the same coordinates, but the first was rated 2/3.5 by its owner, the second 1/1.5, and this one 3/2. Interesting ... and all three owners could be correct with their ratings!
Unlike the others, this one is NOT at the posted coordinates. This one is at:
N 38° 3N.NNN W 121° 4W.WWW.
If your figs are dropping, this drop quote puzzle may be perfect for you. The puzzle contains spaces for each letter in a black and white grid (the puzzle reads left-to-right and words continue to the next line unless interrupted by a filled-in block). Above each column is a set of shuffled letters for that column. Simply "drop" each letter into the appropriate square in each column to reveal the key to the cache location. Solve the puzzle to learn the missing digits.
This cache started out with a golden dollar as an FTF prize. A traveling FTF geocoin was also placed in the cache. Its mission is to move from new hide to new hide, as something the FTF can take if they will be putting it in a new hide for the next FTF.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
