Geocache Description:

This puzzle is meant to be fun!  Ignore the difficulty rating--it reflects expected time investment & who knows how to properly rate these things anyway!?! To solve, it helps if you have an odd way of looking at things and/or a very twisted sense of humor.


Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates! You must solve the puzzle. Please do not share the solution of the puzzle. I consider this puzzle solved when you have all of the correct answers to the crossword. If you do not want to argue with Geochecker, you may choose to e-mail me your answers instead.
