Buteos' Booty Mystery Cache
Buteos: Alas, the cache has gone missing along with the ammo box. Ammo boxes are getting expensive, so I decided just to archive this cache. Maybe at some future time we will recreate it.

The theme of this puzzle is the key to success. For some people, it will be easy. For others it will require research. For all, the views are terrific.
** The coordinates above are not the coordinates of the cache, but it is a good place to park your car**
The easiest way to get to this cache is via Catalina State Park, located off RT 77 (Oracle Road) in Oro Valley. Unless you have a park pass, there will be an admission fee of $7.00 for the car and first four passengers. Additional passengers will be $2.00 each. Note: Once on foot, there is no need to bushwhack, until the final 50 feet. The total distance to the cache will be slightly over ½ mile each way over easy terrain.
OK, are you ready?
Upon parking your vehicle, seek out the font of all knowledge and use your instincts and the theme of this cache to get you started. Ignore your GPS.
Soon after meeting Robinson you will need to make a decision—may the force be with you! You should use your instincts here. If you meet the sisters and the captain you know you are doing well and you should proceed to meet Wilson. If you don’t meet the sisters or the captain, do not fret—seek an audience with Wilson directly. When you meet Wilson, relax and lock up your GPS. Proceed to the coordinates provided by solving the following puzzle:
Each of the following has one item that does not belong, you will use the number of the out-of-place item in the expressions below to obtain corrected coordinates.
A 1) Scott’s 2) Orchard 3) Hooded 4) Lucy’s 5) Bullock’s
B 1) Canyon 2) Grasshopper 3) Baird’s 4) Vesper 5) Savannah

The cache coordinates are given by: 32 GF.GGE N and 110 CA.(B+C)(D-A)C W
To check your result, the sum of the N & W coordinates should be 142 79.828
