Cache is not at posted coords.
I sometimes

I
sometimes wonder how people come up with names for their

I
sometimes wonder how I come up with some of my cache
names.
I wonder
how people come up with names for their children, their pets, how

inanimate objects.

to wonder how the states got their names, but I don’t
anymore.

Coordinates came be found by finding out which
state name goes with these meanings. Numbers can be found by
counting the letters in the state names.
