Geocache Description:


The cache container is not at the listed coordinates.

People tell me they like puzzles that don't require mind-reading.

So here you go. I'll tell you exactly what to do to get started. Each of the following clues leads to a word. There is another word inside that one, just backwards. The clues point to both parts, in no particular order. The letters on either end of the word are never used in both.

From the groups you will get three words and I think you know what to do from there!
