Geocache Description:


**THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!**

People have asked how to pronounce my name since I have started geocaching. It is simple, it is spelled “Jam3s” and is pronounced “j(a)-mes”. What makes this confusing to others is that it is in “Leetspeak” or “Leet” for short.

Leet is an alphabet used primarily on the Internet for the English language. It uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters. The term is derived from the word "elite", and the usage it describes is a specialized form of symbolic writing. Leet may also be considered a substitution cipher, though many dialects or linguistic varieties exist in different online communities. It has evolved and is seen in advertising now.

To find the cache, decode the coordinates below:
