Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle for the correct coordinates.

*********************************************************************************

My daughter had just turned 6 years old when my son and I started caching. My son and I would come home after a day of caching and tell her all about our day’s adventure. We would describe the containers, how they were hidden, and who the cacher was that hid them. She was always excited to hear about our adventures, and we would always try to pick up a piece of treasure for her. After many of these stories, she became more and more familiar with some of the cacher’s names. There is one cacher in particular that she wasn’t too fond of. Mainly because there was never any treasures in his caches. We would come home and tell here that we didn’t have any treasure for her because all we found were micros. She still wanted to hear about our adventure, and the stories went on. After about a month or so of this, she went with us on a hunt. It was a micro, but she still wanted in on the adventure. Once we found it, she started laughing. My son and I didn’t understand why, so she explained it to us. We all had a good laugh and haven’t looked at a micro the same since.

Now you know my side of the story. Your dirty job is to figure out who she thought we were talking about. Once you have his name, add up the letters in his first and last name using A=1, B=2, C=3, etc and add that total to the decimal portion of the posted north and west coordinates to get the correct coordinates.

If you need help figuring out who this person is, just find another cache in this series. His picture is on every cache in this series.
