Patty Mason's Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cd.cuts: It is with great regret that we have to archive this cache - the very first time that we ever archive a cache.
I had such a great time solving the puzzle back in 2013 that it was a no-brainer to adopt this cache shortly afterwards, and we have kept it going for another decade, but with all the low branches cut on both the hide and any nearby potential host, there is no good option anymore close enough to the solved coordinates, so we have to put this one to rest.
It had a good life.
Thank you lacwitt for originally publishing this great puzzle cache.

Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES

(There is a different GC code written on the geocaching Manifesto. Pay no attention to this number, it is for another cache I'm working on and I grabbed the wrong manifesto when I loaded the container.)


So seeing as it is St. Patrick's day, I went over to visit my friend Patrick O'Mason. He prefers Patty Mason, because to call him Patty O'Mason, he says, makes him sound like a place you sit to enjoy drinks. Anyway, that is neither here nor there.
I made my yearly trip out to my friend Patty's lodge and was enjoying some fine refreshments with him when he got all serious.
"Can I show you something?" He asked.
"It depends." I replied, kinda worried.
"Not that, jackass." he said, and pulls out a piece of paper.
I was helping clean up some of my grandfather's stuff and I came across this." he said, showing me a piece of paper with a bunch of symbols on it.
"I think it's some kind of code." He said.
"No SH__." I said, and looked at the paper.

I've included a copy of the page, hoping that some of you out there will be able to help us figure out what it says.
