Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle to find the cache coordinates.

I've driven to caches in forty-five states now. As I've been driving around the country, I've started to notice a lot of numbers. I decided to put some of them together for a cache.

Special notes about the 2009 Puzzle Challenge
To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. Because certitude may not properly account for joint solutions, please email me team member names in the case of team solutions to ensure proper point accounting. All "point" scoring is arbitrary anyway, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and mostly meaningless (unless you really want to be awarded a certain bottle of wine at the December event). To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special notes about this cache:
Another "easy" one (in other words, easy only if you are the cache owner), although this one has two parts; so I've given it 4 stars on the difficulty scale. Unfortunately, I couldn't use my originally intended hiding spot (the puzzle didn't work out). At this new spot, parking may be a challenge once again; so I suggest visiting during non-business hours, if possible.
