There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. Well, nothing except that they would take you to the middle of an interstate and nowhere near the cache. Thus, I don't recommend going there; I suggest solving the puzzle via the link in the cache description below instead.
I genuinely enjoy geocaching events. From intimate gatherings to Giga spectacles, there is something exciting about hanging out with caching comrades.
The current "rona" pandemic has certainly suspended the physical social aspect of the game. Online chatting, messaging and texting have kept many of us in touch with each other, but I have missed swapping handshakes, hugs, advice, stories and tall tales with my geobuds. Except Mr. Geologynut... nobody likes that guy.
All this social distancing and reminiscing got me thinking about the time I recorded all of my conversations during an event a while back. It was a wonderful evening with a cocktail party atmosphere attended by so many cachers in the TVG area, our three state reviewers and even a trio of folks from New Cache Order, our sister group in northeast TN.
As it turns out, the exchange of quips between myself and others contains the coordinates to THIS cache! All you have to do is listen to the audio found by clicking the link below and pay attention to the details.
Now, the audio is about 29 minutes long, but I hope you find it at least mildly humorous and entertaining. This puzzle is meant to be fun much more so than challenging. Below the link are the specific pieces of conversation, in order, to which you will need to pay particular attention. (Any numbers mentioned by me can be ignored.) These tidbits are spread out in the audio from beginning to end so skipping around trying to find them will probably take you more time than just listening to the whole thing and pausing/replaying when you need.
DISCLAIMER: ALL innuendo, intimation, insinuation, accusation, humiliation and ridicule is for entertainment purposes only. No content is meant to confer my true feelings about anyone else or suggest anything about their character... as far as you know.
My apologies for leaving out some of you, but at 29 minutes already it was getting out of hand.
So, grab your favorite beverage, a notepad and pen and enjoy a...

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travel Bug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for Travel Bugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache will you PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before “grabbing” the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
