Geocache Description:

This is my first mystery/puzzle cache. Hope you enjoy it.

The cache is NOT at the posted co-ordinates, but within a kilometre. To find the cache, you need to solve the following puzzle.

You ever played the game Mad Gab? Where you read the words on a card and have to guess what you're actually saying? For example, the card may say "Wheel yum air ream he," or "Nose ails minnow loud," which are translated, respectively to "Will you marry me" and "No salesmen allowed."

So who's up for a game of Mad Gab with a twist? I'll give you the definitions, and you have to write down the word. The number in brackets tells you how many letters are in the word. (Google helps if you don't know the answer.) Then when you have all the words, write them all down, pronounce them phonetically and translate them into co-ordinates! Ready? Here we go ...

1. Golfer's warning (4)
2. Enamel things in your mouth (5)
3. Cattail, for example (4)
4. Doesn't disagree (6)
5. Fourth weekday, abbr. (4)

There are two paths to the cache, one paved and one more rugged. Take your pick, you'll have to do a bit of bushwhacking anyway. And be prepared for a twist!
