You should be able to decipher the directions to the cache without resorting to the Internet for help.

PLEASE NOTE: After deciphering the message, you should add 24 meters to the first distance and subtract 24 meters from the second distance. Proceed to this corrected position. The cache is less than 20 meters from this corrected position in a southerly direction. The cache is also about 22 meters in a northwesterly direction from a huge pine tree about 1 meter in diameter. The GPS signal is susceptible to error in this region. A pile of small branches has been added as cover to discourage animals from stealing the cache.

Please do not include spoilers in your logs. Logs with spoilers will be deleted immediately. If you believe there is any problem with the cache setup, please advise me privately by e-mail so that I may fix them if necessary.
