Geocache Description:

A mystery cache in the middle of nowhere but with spectacular views. Decypher the coordinates and email the owner to check first in order to not waste gas. Cache owner(s) will confirm correct coordinates.

Years ago, when we were children, there was a magic hour on CBC that kept both of us happy as clams and gave our mothers peace. This was the trifecta of TV Shows: Sesame Street, Mr. Dressup, and The Friendly Giant. We would look up, waaay up and would be mesmerized by the magic the Friendly Giant created. With Rusty and Gerome, the Friendly Giant was one of the staples of our early education. Simple and beautiful, the show was artistic excellence in children's programming.

Due to complaints about the previous puzzle cache that my wife "owned," I have triple checked the cypher and we made sure the cache is in an absolutely spectacular location.

I will be giving a clue to either the cypher or the location every 7 days until someone ftfs. If you think you have found a problem with the cypher, contact me immediately.
