Geocache Description:


THE COORDINATES ABOVE HAVE NO MEANING OTHER THAN POINTING AT THE
GENERAL AREA IN WHICH THE CACHE IS HIDDEN 
I recently met a girl at a party who earns her living as a fortune teller. While we talked, she mentioned the Cubs winning the World Series next season, mumbled the names of a few penny stocks just about to recover, and urged me not to travel to Uzbekistan in April 2016. 
She was cute, but frankly, I don't really believe in fortune telling. Especially her baseball forecasting skills seemed not to be very advanced.
However, she suddenly smiled at me, took a printed piece of paper out of her purse, and asked me whether I could add a copy to the description of my new cache. Now that hit me by surprise! Neither
could she have known in advance that I was at the party at all, nor did I mention the cache which wasn't even published yet. And still, there where the final coordinates on the paper, crystal clear and dead on! I woke up the next morning with a terrible headache. After searching and searching throughout my whole apartment, the only similar piece of paper I found was crumpled and covered by numbers which are all but a clear pair of coordinates (see uploaded copy).
Did I meet the pretty fortune teller at all, or was it just a dream? I hope not, because then you might never be able to find my cache.

The story above was Frazier's original story. I have only added the geochecker below so that folks heading out can check their answers and get an important piece of additional information.
