Geocache Description:

Small magnetic container, with a puzzle to get the cache location.

Solve the puzzle, find this micro cache. Bring your own pen. Nearby parking is available.

This puzzle can be hard if you want it to, or you can make it easier. The letters below are each associated with a number. Rearrange the fifteen letters to spell one word. When you put the numbers with each of the letters in the word, you get the final coordinates.

Here are your choices for difficulty:

1. The Hard Way -- just try to rearrange the letters.

2. Not quite as hard -- see the hint for a clue about the word.

3. Easier still -- use the numbers to fill in the locations of some of the letters (for example, if you know that the North latitude is going to be "38" then the letters that pair with a 3 or an 8 are going to be in the first and second places).

4. Finally -- maybe you can find an anagram solver on the internet that will unscramble the word for you.

5. Hey no Fair! -- PAF

A0, B6, C5, E1, G7, H7, I0, L1, N8, O2, P1, R7, T1, U3, Y1

Please include in your log which of the methods you used to solve the puzzle.
