Geocache Description:

Congratulations ka5bou for the FTF!

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.
You will have to solve the puzzle for the actual coordinates.


When I left to work in Hanoi, Vietnam, I placed a cache titled Good Morning Vietnam. I was at the same time excited about the experience and challenge and apprehensive since I would be away from my family and friends for so long. Well, I finally completed my contract and made it back home on 22-Dec-2009. While Vietnam is a wonderful place with sights and experiences most wouldn't even dream of, there is truly no place like America!

Just like the great Chuck Berry said in his song Back in the USA
 
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.
 

It is said that a picture says a thousand words. Let's just hope that it will tell you the coordinates.
Final Coordinates are:
 N 33 06.XXX
W 96 33.YYY
