Geocache Description:


The posted coords are completely bogus!!!


You must first go to these coordinates:
N 30 (ZFGBVZE L ZFGW).(KCEZFTKBGVZTW WGZGVZE L ZFGW)
W 097 (KCEFGVZE L KBVKT).(WGZGKBGVZTW UGBVZG)

You may be saying to yourself right about now, "Is THAT English?" Well, my friend... No, it's not. This is what I call a Spanish cryptogram. If you don't know what a cryptogram is, look it up. If you do, this is the same thing, with a twist - the solution is in Spanish.

Click to verify coordinates

After solving this puzzle, go to the coordinates (these coordinates are also parking coords). On the way, note the speed limit on the road before you turn into the parking lot; this number is two digits. The first digit (or ten's digit) is A. The second digit (or one's digit) is B. Once inside the parking lot, count the number of light poles INSIDE the parking lot; this number is C. Next, count the number of lights on those light poles (they are all round); this number is D. Now go over towards the pavilion. The number of fire pits beside the pavilion is E.

Now for a little math. Don't worry, it's not that hard.
F=B+A-D
G=A*E*F

See, that wasn't too hard, now was it. Now the moment you've been waiting for...
The final coordinates are:
N 30 (C)(E).(A)(F)(F)
W 097 (E)(B).(D)(G)(G)

Click to verify final coordinates

A little side note: If you project 566 feet at 23 degrees from the final coords, it will put you near the small cave for which this cache was named.

Good luck.
