Geocache Description:


There is no cache at the listed coordinates!
The actual cache is nearby, but you must solve the puzzle to get the real coordinates.

Please bring a pencil. This cache is not big enough for pencils, pens, travel bugs, or trade items. The cache is visible without moving anything--don't go tearing the place apart!

This cache is an homage to rgbisme and trueindigo's "Fire Elemental" cache, with its mental twists and turns. It's also a convoluted going away present to Diggles and Liggles!

The puzzle was originally cooked up in case I was called upon again to provide a puzzle cache for another Central PA Scavenger Hunt by enfanta. But with no event, I just couldn't let it go to waste.

I encourage you to print the puzzle out. Be sure that the edge of the puzzle isn't clipped off. If it does, click here and print the puzzle off by itself.

Each red letter indicates that the answer should be plugged in (as a numeral) to the spaces below. (d and e are the same digits)
