There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. I'm sure they would take you to a very nice location where you could enjoy God's creation. However, if you want to find this cache, I don't recommend going there; I recommend solving the puzzle instead.
Note: This cache is being published in conjunction with GC5BG4G, The Miami Valley Caching Conundrum #6.
This month's topic is Wurd Sertch, and should require no explanation. Merely find the 20 hidden words, find the 20 associated row/column numbers, and use these to find the coords.
Letters A – T are determined by finding either the row or the column number of the first letter of the given word.
A = GPS (row)
B = CACHE (row) (note: not a substring of "earthcache")
C = FIND (row)
D = DNF (row) (note: occurs 3 times; pick vertical one)
E = TRADITIONAL (row)
F = WHERIGO (row)
G = GUARDRAIL (row)
H = NANO (row)
I = HIDE (row)
J = TFTC (row)
K = FTF (column) (note: palindrome, so pick lower column #)
L = EARTHCACHE (column)
M = FBB (column)
N = GARMIN (column)
O = MICRO (column)
P = LPC (column) (note: occurs twice; choose one with higher column #)
Q = COORDS (column)
R = GEOART (column)
S = MUGGLE (column)
T = HONEYSUCKLE (column)
Coordinates are of the form N39 46.UVW W084 02.XYZ.
U = C + Q + S – I - O
V = A + J + N – R - D
W = B + K + T – C - E
X = F + G + O – H - L
Y = M + P – F - S
Z = H + J + S - P
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
