Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are not the actual coordinates for this cache. To find the final coordinates the incomplete coordinates above can be filled in by solving the following riddle.


In a small town somewhere in the middle of America you will find a group of moms who are not your ordinary run-of-the-mill moms. They are smart, stylish moms who fit in with all the other "soccer" moms of middle America. They care for their husbands and children, keep a clean and tidy house, and they attend all of their children's school functions just as all other "soccer" moms do. However, these moms have a secret they keep hidden from even the closest of persons, including their husbands. They love orthography. They surreptitiously call themselves the Tough Women's Faction and have only two rules of application in order to gain entry into the underground group. One, you have to be a mom. Two, you have to know the secret password. The only clue they provide for deciphering the password are the words GOLF, HOTEL, OSCAR, TANGO, and INDIA. Any mom bright enough to decode the password is ceremoniously initiated into the group.

Using the following key, take the numbers that correspond with the letters of the password and plug the numbers into the missing coordinates. Those coordinates will take you to the cache.
