Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES!!!

However, they might be good for parking while going for the cache.

Coming from a long line of Inquisitors, I have come across some strange documents over the years. Inquisitor John liked to encrypt everything so no one could find his treasures. Recently one of his documents really intrigued me. It has coordinates of some sort, but John must have had some other system than we use today. I have copied them here for you to work on. If you solve them, you are free to share in Inquisitor John’s treasure.

There was some mention of a root in the document, but that made no sense at all.

This cache is placed in a residential area (okay, it’s our home) so please be respectful and only hunt between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. If the neighbors complain, I may have to remove the cache. Also, to make sure you have the right location, look for “signs” of geocachers. This is a regular sized cache, so please don't tear up the sprinkler system.
