Geocache Description:


Geocaching Toolbox

The cache is not at the posted coords.

This puzzle is in honor of the Geocaching Toolbox web site creator- Japiejoo.

You will find many great puzzle solving tools in Geocaching Toolbox, but one of the things that you WON'T find there is Red Herrings - but that doesn't mean you won't find them here. They love to visit puzzles just to mess with your head. Sometimes they even provide a hint or two, but you can't count on that. While adding to the Red Herrings education, they studied a number of famous people: Dr. Charles Drew, Dr. Joseph Lister, Dr. William Dealey, and Dr. James Paget. They have all made huge contributions to society (not unlike the Red Herrings). To show you that the Red Herrings are not ALL bad, they are providing the following information:

    1. Some of the coords to the cache: N38 45.ABC W75 19.DEF
    2. The puzzle solution can be found by using a few of the great tools in the Geocaching Toolbox
    3. A hint below, to get you started

So you ONLY need to locate six numbers- sounds easy (at least to the Red Herrings). And you certainly do TRUST the Red Herrings, don't you?

Good luck, have fun, and "tool" around while solving this puzzle.
