Geocache Description:

Embarrass MN-The Nations Cold Spot- Record Low Temp. 57 below zero, Jan. 20, 1996. Bring warm clothes, and in the summer, bug spray. We changed this to an ammo can and moved it to a dryer spot so the final coordinates are now changed. Use the same puzzle, we put in the new letters for you to find the final coordinates.

The above coordinates are for the parking lot. Solve this logic puzzle for the final coordinates.

It was New Years Eve. The forecast was for clear skies and a low temperature of 30 below zero, 40 below with the wind-chill. It was a perfect night for Emil and Elsie to invite some friends over to take a sauna and ring in the New Year. Three couples accepted the invitation.
