Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates


Part of a series of Puzzles that are a result of a USA/South African collaboration. Caches are placed in the Bakersfield area by Katarn1977 and this puzzle developed by jtomcat16 in South Africa.
NOTE: Due to potential confusion caused by google searching, a piece of information you are looking for is "pygmyowl"


Homer has gone on a trip and been missing for a while, Bart is searching around for him but cannot find him. He has seen all the information to find him but hasn’t realized it. See if you can help him locate Homer. The images to follow depict his search.


If you manage to discover the name of the place Homer is, convert it to a number, multiply it by 6 and subtract it from north, then multiply it by 9 and subtract it from west.

ie: North = subtract ("location" x 6)

West = subtract ("location" x 9)
