Now it certainly has been a while since the Beavers released a
cache. One theory has it that they were busy building dams and
didn't have time. Consequently, they came up with this devious
challenge. One only has to solve the puzzle to claim the prize.
Dam building is tough work, but the mind has time to wander
while the trees are being felled. Every member of the Beaver family
wanted to have a part in this, the latest puzzle challenge. So,
each provided their own piece to the puzzle.
We have taken all these pieces and laid them out for you below.
Each son and daughter worked very hard to come up with a puzzle
that all cachers could solve yet one that would be a challenge.
Read the lines carefully and don't skip over anything on your
way to a solution. Each letter and number may mean something ... or
maybe not ... hee hee hee. Ultimately, understanding the thought
processes of this wily beaver bunch may help you on your way.
Sit yourself down, grab a copy of the puzzle, and put on your
thinking caps. Ease back in your overstuffed chair and dissect what
you see. Depend on nothing, past experience may not help you this
time; so on with it, what are you waiting for?

Due to unforseen circumstances in the Beaver household, (little
Bertha Beaver is just learning her ciphers) when you have solved
the puzzle, you will need to do to make a couple minor calculations
before you make the find:
-----> ADD 0.554 to the Latitude
-----> SUBTRACT 0.424 from the Longitude
We all hope you enjoyed this puzzle. Please let us know in the
logs how you liked it. But PLEASE do not give any hints either in
the logs or in person. The Beavers and I thank you for your
understanding and cooperation.
