Geocache Description:

NOTE: You can find the coordinates to the final in the waypoints below. The puzzle is still valid and able to be solved if you wish to do it that way.


*****HINTS ADDED*****

This cache is pretty easy to find but the puzzle portion could cause some problems (for some).

When I started preparing this cache, it was going to be a traditional. I had committed the numbers to memory and quickly typed the coordinates onto my computer. Then the phone rang and of course it was a telemarketer from Blaze asking the VIN and year of my car or something like that but of course I politely said " No thank you", and quickly hung up. However, as soon as I hung up, the cat knocked over a glass of juice in the kitchen and that took me a few minutes to chase him away from the spill and get it all cleaned up. When I finally got back to the computer I found out the keyboard had been messed up and it totally scrambled what I typed.

Unfortunately with all the happenings I forgot the numbers. So you will have decipher what I typed to find the cache. I am guessing the key to figuring it out will be to do some research but then again maybe not.
