Geocache Description:

Not @ the coordinates posted above!

Contains a compass, a magnifying glass, four bits, and a log...BYOP!


Not a basic cryptoquip,
Nor common crossword am I.
I’m built to last, so try as you might,
I'll want to stay far out of your sight.
You may not find this fun.
Might want to quit this hunt.
I’m not giving away too much right now.
Don’t look for a hint, not showing you how.
I don’t want to spoil it for you,
Having too much fun with this too?
No?
Oh!
I can say this much to you,
You folks will find it right soon.
You can do it,
So go to it.

I thought by now you would find it.
Surprising... to think that I must hint.
I know it’s my obligation though,
To add it in a month or two.

Look for it’s arrival,
And soon you will find.
A hint proving logical.
Or a post of "First To Find."

Hint's still coming. I just put in a simplification for 'solution for X.'

Okay, this could go on and on. I can't stand it; I'm posting a hint. Good luck.

It's just kind of wasting room now.... I'm going to pull it within 30 days. What can I say? Thanks for visiting, it was fun. Sorry to bug you with it! Mad props going way out to Mr. Wright. I should also say thanks to Gadsby too!
