Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are wrong! To solve this puzzle you must do a little research. When you have the coordinates, you will be within line of sight of the heart of Area 61, and deep within the territory of its crew.

Everyone has heard of the infamous Area 51, the super secret government test area in Nevada, but few people are aware of its northern counterpart, Area 61, right here in Washington State. This area is the clandestine home of a little-known subspecies of folk. A government conspiracy? Perhaps…

Reports indicate that the Crew of 61 wear decorative uniforms, engage in strenuous physical activities, and are known to place boxes of trinkets deep in the woods. They meet at an undisclosed location near the cache and reportedly are known to each other by their secret handshakes, knowledge of funny songs, and willingness to help little old ladies across the street. They walk among us, masquerading as track stars, bassoon players, ladybugs, or even the shopkeeper around the corner. Some claim to be masters of time and space.

To find the location of this cache, you must do a little research.
