Learn Things #1: Learn To Drive Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

crs98: I think it's gone missing one too many times and it was never my favorite location anyway. The puzzle was all based around using the year the state entered the Union for each of the license plates. Thanks to all who have visited over the years!

Geocache Description:

Every morning when I send the kids off for school, I always tell them just one thing: "Learn Things!" So with that mantra in mind, I've decided to start a cache series dedicated towards learning things.

This is a puzzle cache and you will not find the cache at the posted coordinates, though they are in fact the coordinates for an institution of learning, namely Edmonds Community College. To find the actual coordinates, you'll need to decipher the clues below.

One of my favorite comedians is the recently deceased George Carlin. In one of the clips I will always remember, he talks about how there are only two types of drivers, idiots and maniacs. An idiot is anyone who drives slower than you and a maniac is anyone who drives faster than you. If you want to view a clip of this bit, follow the "Related Page" link above. So whether you are an idiot or a maniac...

LEARN TO DRIVE!!!!
