Geocache Description:

No, the cache is not located at the coordiantes. Solve the puzzle below.


To make things easier for the puzzle solver (and more importantly, the creator) there are no diagonals. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the list of words. I remember they were all 4 letters or longer and they are all related. There is 1 proper noun but it's not a player. I'm sure you can figure it out. So, who is ready to play?

Armed with the information above you should be able to find the cache, but for those that insist they need to use their GPSr for something then here is an optional second step to the puzzle. From the SW corner of the area identified above, go 176 ft at a bearing of 54°.

Congrats to TheScottFamilyFive and _Shadow_ on the FTF!
