Geocache Description:



NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES



Each of the clips in the file below corresponds to a letter. To determine the value of each letter, you must identify what all the clips have in common. It is that commonality that will lead you to the information needed to determine the value of each letter. Arrange the “letters” as prescribed to obtain the actual coordinates of the cache. PLEASE USE STEALTH WHEN RETRIEVING THIS CACHE TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE HIDE. An early morning or after dusk retrieval might work best!
