Geocache Description:

The above coords, except for 39 and 084, will not take you to the cache. You must find the correct exchanges from the clues below. Because the clues are somewhat CRYPTIC, CROSS WORDS may come to mind. If so, feel free to express yourself when you log your find. The actual hide is in Mt. Airy. There is a FTF prize in it.

That's right, Coach T is on the soapbox, again. No doubt many of you have heard me whine about puzzles that: 1, require a specific search phrase that is not adequately hinted at; 2, require some special knowledge or computer expertise that few have; or 3, are inconsistent or ambiguous. In my opinion, puzzles should be created to be solved, and caches hidden to be found. It seems, instead, that some cachers just want to collect DNF's and email requests for hints. Hopefully, this will not fit either of those categories. Good luck.

1-The great blackout of '08 left us with nothing in the freezer opening.
2-This will look better if you scrape up some ether.
3-From the sound of it, a hacker's alert will get you a better number than this.
4-It takes some of both reeds for a melodic number.
5-Gliding in the sleigh today a good one appeared.
6-My trained schnauser Ruof, will turn around for a good offering.
7-I hear the last part of a Victor's cry will give you something to use instead.
8-You can find one better than this in any house vent.
9-If you dive into the reef I've an idea for a good number will appear.
0-Adolph's refusal sounds like an improvement for this place.
