Plane and Simple Reborn (and Bigger) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dowbiggin: I used to work very close to this one, but now I don't go to that part of town very often anymore. I plan to revive this puzzle style somewhere closer to my new stomping grounds some time soon.

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates, but it is less than a mile away. To find the actual coordinates of the cache, you have to solve the puzzle.

This geocache is designed to replace my original Plane and Simple geocache (GC11JYV), which was my very first puzzle cache. It was well-received and rather popular until the area became a housing development and the cache disappeared. I have re-created this in honor and memory of 50sumtin, who gave me the container for the original, and whose tip (after he was one of the early solvers) became a piece of this new version of the puzzle. Container is an ammo can, placed with permission.

If you're really struggling, ask a kid. Grade five through early high school is the perfect age.
