Geocache Description:

Time to put on your thinking cap.


I've been wanting to try something different in this area and decided on a Mystery Cahe.
I hope you enjoy hunting it as much as I did hiding it.

The coordinates above will NOT take you to the cache, so don't use them.
The actual coordinates are written in word form and coded below.

The final cache is a small military "decon" container with magnets (Strong ones!!!) added to it.
It contains:
Logbook
Stash note
Article about this code
It also has 1 small pencil, but you may want to bring a pen.

The man in charge of this location made only 2 requests:
A. Don't climb on the displays
B. Limit your hunt to daylight hours.

Now, the code:

3-3 4-4 2-3 4-2 1-5 1-5 4-4 5-2 3-4 4-4
2-3 4-2 1-5 1-5 3-4 3-3 1-5 2-1 2-4 5-1
1-5 5-5 1-5 4-2 3-4 2-1 2-4 5-1 1-5 5-2
5-5 1-5 4-2 3-4 3-3 2-4 3-3 1-5 3-4 3-3
1-5 2-1 2-4 5-1 1-5 3-3 2-4 3-3 1-5 2-1
3-4 4-5 4-2 4-3 2-4 5-3 4-4 5-2 3-4

BEWARE OF WASPS..... THEY LIKE TO BUILD NESTS ON THE DISPLAYS.
