This cache is not located at the listed coordinates but they do
make a good place to park.
All of the little cachers in our family love working these word
search puzzles, so we thought we'd make one of our own dedicated to
geocaching.
To determine the cache coordinates you'll first need to complete
the word search below. We've included a number of the things we've
experienced and/or enjoyed during our first 6 months of geocaching
including the FTF'ers of our previously hidden caches and a number
of the other cool folks we've met along the way.

Once you've found all the words listed, you'll use the 14
leftover letters to solve for the final cache location. Starting at
the top left of the word search, and reading left to right, top to
bottom, write down, in order, each letter in the puzzle that was
not required for one of the words you found. Take each of these 14
letters and use the below decrypter to determine it's corresponding
numeric value.

When you're done decrypting the leftover letters you should have
14 digits to place in final cache coordinates below:
Nab.cd.efg
W0hi.jk.lmn
Where:
a=first leftover letter in
the word find decrypted
b=second leftover letter in the
word find decrypted
c=third leftover letter in the
word find decrypted
and so on...
We hope you enjoy the puzzle and the cache!
