The Tale of the Midnight Caller


Islander lay in bed, sound asleep, happily dreaming of a land where it rained geocoins and every cache was a FTF. Then, suddenly, the telephone rang.

Groggily, he reached for the annoying sound and looked at the clock. Midnight. What a time for a call.

"Hu... hullo?" was all he could muster to say.

"This is it, Islander. The time has come. Are you ready to receive the coordinates?"

Suddenly fully awake, Islander grabbed a pencil and piece of paper. "You bet."

"Then write this down, and don't miss a letter." Islander didn't need to be told twice, and began copying the following sequence as it was conveyed:

GHIGHIABCOPERGHIOPERTUVMNOGHIDEFABCPQRSABCPQRS

The caller uttered the last letter, and then Islander heard a click, and a dial tone was all that was left.

There was no time to lose.

Grabbing his jacket and GPS, he raced out the door.



Islander knew where to go. Do you?
