Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates You will have to solve the puzzle to obtain the coordinates.

It is that time of year. Many of my relatives are out of state and since I do not see them often I do not know what they want. I always end up having to give a call to get an idea about what they want or need for Christmas. My sister Carol is down in Florida and as usual I needed to find out what she and and her family’s current interests are. She emailed me some Christmas lists. One list stood out as a little weird. What do you think about this list.

5 nag, 90 bird
91 fly, 9 mice
87 shed, 7 die
8 jock, 8 balm
678 yak, 1 gnu
42 jar, 1 spar
90 fool, 70 ad
6 cosy, 5 bolo
847 sax, 6 saw
81 auto, 5 eft
77 dust, 1 fig
58 key, 83 pet
91 den, 28 hub

Anybody know where I can find 678 yaks?

Notes about this cache/puzzle: I changed my mind at the last minute to make it a little more Xmas related (and much easier). Thanks again to Teamajk for beta testing. Bring a pen.
