Geocache Description:


10/7/2025 I have slightly modified the puzzle (coords only, not the puzzle itself), so if you solve prior to this date you will need to recalculate.
Please leave natural camo in place when replacing cache.
The answer below is a quotation consisting of the letters listed on the top line, repeated as often as necessary. The letters are listed in the order of their first appearance in the quotation. Enter the letters one per dash. The numbers under the dashes indicate which occurrence of the respective letters of the quotation these are. For example, a 1 indicates the first time the letter occurs, a 2 indicates the second time, etc.
