Geocache Description:

*The cache is not at the above coordinates.*

The coordinates above are for suggested parking.

The other night, as I was sitting at my computer, I started to download a selection from the Gutenberg Project and all of the sudden the following numbers appeared on my computer screen :

484 001 375 118 226 020 392 206 028 381

469 221 187 005 338 178 037 155 154 027

424 146 309 104 212 204 430 070 018 080

024 008 357 223 026 218 360 023 046 163

‘T is funny, because earlier in the day we had hidden a two-part multi in the woods and we couldn’t remember where we had hidden them. Maybe you can help us out by finding where we left them. You will have to solve the puzzle to find the first stage.

The satellites weren't too kind to us when we were placing the stages, so expand your search a little if you don't find them right away. There is a Turtle in the cache for the first-to-find.

Letchworth State Park Permit #LSP-51. Thanks to Roland Beck, Park Manager, for approving this cache.

*NOTICE* There has been some controversy as to the count. The puzzle was originally set up on a count of 483. Many people have been coming up with 484. The controversy stems from the fourth line, where in some editions there appear the words “some one” and in other editions it appears as “someone”. We have decided to go with the 484 version, and thus the change in the numbers. Check your fourth line and consider the “some one” as two words. Also make sure that the version that you are using has the proper “’T is” which counts as two separate words. Now that we have had a few finders, if you are still at a loss as to how to solve the puzzle, send us an email with your email address and we will send you a “cheat sheet”.
