Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You have to solve the puzzle below to get the final coordinates.


This puzzle's been in development for several years. The original idea was to have a specific title and not much other information. Then the cache was to be hidden at a specific location in the form of N DD° MM.867 W DDD° M5.309 or some variation. Based solely on the title the final coordinates could be determined. But an extensive search in about a 30-mile radius showed just three possibilities including this cache's posted coordinates but I really wasn't happy with any of them due to parking and access.


Instead of dropping the idea I decided to do this one in reverse. Based on the title of this cache all you have to do is determine the associated keyword to enter into the checker. A successful entry will reveal the actual coordinates of where the cache is hidden. The keyword is not case-sensitive.
