Geocache Description:

Thanks are due to "Grampa Cardigan" as the original hider of this classic cache.

The solid-rock-seekers (who were the first finders of the cache on 9 February 2007) adopted the cache in 2022 to continue to maintain it for future generations of cachers to enjoy.

Original Cache Description (by Grampa Cardigan) Below:

The cache is not hidden at the above coordinates. You must solve the numerical phrase puzzle then do the alpha-numeric substitution into the formula given below.

Sample numerical phrase solution:

L on a S = Z

Z would equal 8, since ( L on a S ) suggests legs on a spider.

 

The Puzzle:

P on a FBF = AB

T led the BP = CD

F in a Y = E

D in the M of D = FG

S in a M = HJ

D in F in a LY = KL

D in a W = M

P in a N =N

J on a J = PQ

O in a G = RST

D in a BD = UV

C in a Q = WX

W on a U = Y

The cache is hidden at: North 4A NH.MKD West MG VJ.LCC

It is in plain view and not in the trees. A simple Trompe-l'œil.  You can park within ten feet of the cache. Bring it to your car to sign the log, then return it exactly as you found it.
