Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT TO BE FOUND AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES

This cache was hidden by a Cold And Calculating Heartless Eccentric (CACHE) who went to great effort to conceal its location. This CACHE who hid the cache has had his tongue cut out and his fingers removed as a result of past transgressions and is unable to speak or write. However, he was able to photograph artifacts that contain clues to the location of the cache. After torturing, oops, I mean questioning this CACHE, I have learned that the coordinates for the cache are:

N30 24.ABC
W97 44.DEF

Where
A is the 3rd digit of the number found on the tail of a plane
B is the last digit of the birth year found on a tombstone
C is the 3rd digit of the license plate found on a bus (the letter W is not a digit!)

D is the 1st digit of the license plate found on a car
E is the 5th digit of the number found on the yellow tag on a tower
F is the number of handicap parking spaces around the fork

After ransacking his ramshackle shack I have captured some photographs taken by the CACHE that I believe will be useful. Unfortunately since he was slightly handicapped, missing fingers and such, he had a hard time operating the camera and as you will see the required data is just outside the limits of the picture. Alas, as I am otherwise preoccupied on another case, I must ask that you use your powers of sleuthing to determine just where each of these sites is located; visit each of these sites yourself, gather the required data and then decipher the correct coordinates of the cache. Your efforts will earn you seven more notches on your geocaching gun; i.e. log yourself a ‘find’ for visiting each of the six photographed sites and the final cache itself.

You should easily recognize each artifact and a quick trip to its location will result in a piece of the puzzle. The particular tombstone that you are looking for is the tallest one in the photo.

Worried that you may not be in the right place? Cactus abounds among the solar powered lights. And remember, if you don’t know where you are going, you may never get there.
