Red herrings from OUT OF THE BLUE Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

sir-cachealot: This one's had a GREAT run and has received many, many comments (some nice, some NOT so nice... but all appreciated)! However, after 15 years, it's time to say goodbye and shut it down. Surprisingly, when I collected the cache container earlier today, it was still in good shape -- and even more amazingly, it was right where I left it. Thanks to all who found, solved, or tried to solve this cache. It will remain one of my all-time favorite creations.

Red herrings from OUT OF THE BLUE:
Diversions that distract attention from the main objective using information from unexpected or unforseen sources. N41°38.859 W81°25.177

 

Fifteen sets of coordinates have been hidden in this listing using an equal number of methods. Fourteen of the sets are fakes or 'red herrings'. Your challenge is to find the single correct solution, as verified by the geochecker. It will undoubtedly be the last one you try, but hopefully not the fifteenth. Keep score and include your personal herring count when you post your log note. Have fun!
