Geocache Description:


THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE FAKE!

I have to admit it, I like pie. I prefer apple, not just because it is considered so all-American, but it’s what I grew up with. I also like it with the lattice-work upper crust and not those cavernous bubbles formed by the solid upper crusts. Á la modé, vanilla ice cream, on still hot from the oven pie gives it that extra je ne se qui. On the other hand, I can’t see ruining a perfectly good pie by putting rhubarb in it.

Even those so-called “hand pies”, (that look like turnovers) that Hostess makes aren’t too bad. When I was hiking down south I found that there was a big difference between the ones made up north and the ones down south. In the south the hand pies are fried while up north they are baked. They all taste pretty good after a long day of hiking.

And finally, the nursery rhyme about “little Jack Horner, sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie”, isn’t about pie at all but rather about bribes and corruption in Merrie Olde England. The deeds to several seized manors were hidden in a pie and sent to King Henry VIII as a bribe and the messenger, Jack (Thomas) Horner, opened the pie, took, and kept one of the prize property deeds for himself.

Oh, I almost forgot, here is the puzzle. Those of you who have solved some of my previous puzzle caches know that all hints have already been given. Also, DO NOT give even the slightest, obscure, or obtuse hint about the solution to the puzzle in your online logs!
