The above coordinates are all wet. Don't go there. This puzzle was created by everybody's friend, Mahlon. The cache was placed by Bonch, at a location found by Sled Dog. Thanks to all.
There is a fairly popular phrase: "If you had 10,000 monkeys with 10,000
typewriters, they'd eventually type out the entire works of Shakespeare."
I decided to put this to the test. Unfortunately, I only could get
ahold of one monkey, who I named "Bubbles."
Bubbles seemed to be intentionally trying my patience at every
opportunity. He is a very bad monkey.
I spent days trying to get him to type something, but he spent most
of his time performing lewd monkey acts. When he finally used the
typewriter, here is what he banged out with his huge monkey fingers:
uif,`,nbojgftup,.,pg.`,._hfpshf,,`,uif.dijnq;.,&$,gps_,&uif&qbtu&&,

Which of course, appears to be complete nonsense.
After writing it, he looked straight at me and said,
"Ook. Ook. Ook! Ook? Ook. Ook! Ook! Ook! Ook! Ook. Ook. Ook. Ook? Ook!"
and picked up the typewriter and threw it out the window.
Sheesh. I guess my experiment was a failure. Maybe I'll try again
someday, with 9,999 more monkeys. Actually, I'll use a fresh 10,000.
Bubbles is obviously a very, very stupid monkey.
