Geocache Description:


You will NOT find the cache at the posted coordinates; they take you to a restaurant I eat at more times than I'll admit ;P.  But the cache is within a 1/4 mile of this establishment :).

In the short fictional story below, you will find the proper coordinates that will lead you to the cache.  Feel free to send me a message if you need a hint or two on how to solve this puzzle.  Good luck!!

Final coordinates:  N 35° _ _ . _ _ _ W082° _ _ . _ _ _

Jeff took a long tomato bath, reeking of an unfortunate skunk mishap. Even though he had a doozer of a day, occurrences like this were all too common. Just last month at the zoo, a bucktooth reedbuck ate his favorite baseball cap!! That following week, “man’s best friend” decided to bring numerous ixodidae into his household. And to top it all off, he recently broke his right arm falling off his horse (Goliath) reesting at its own shadow!!

Poor ole Jeff; I’ve never known someone to have such terrible luck. But that all changed when he inherited an inestimable fortune! To all of our amazement, his rich grandfather’s will gave him everything!! He decided to move to Europe to start a fresh life, and met a beautiful maiden in Estonia. A year later they got married, have had three children (Sofi, Vergil, and Archie), and lived happily ever after.
