Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PUZZLE--WIKIPEDIA SURE IS USEFUL--AND MAKE YOUR WAY THERE.

Dedicated to a brand-new cacher. Although this cache can be shortened to SCARS, there should be no violent thorns or any other perils with this one. Here's hoping you enjoy this beautiful oasis, a great place to take a walk and reflect ...

L1. In contrast to syllabic, the style of music involving the singing of a single syllable of text while moving between several different notes in succession.

L2&L3. The use of knitted or crocheted cloth to modify and beautify one's (usually outdoor) surroundings is nicknamed this (2 words).


Now, take the initial letter of L1, and if it's A, then convert it to 1, B to 2, and so on till Z to 26. L2 and L3 are the initial letters of the two word answer.

The cache is at N 38° 33.NNN, W 121° 43.WWW
NNN: Add 9 to: L1 x (L2 + L3)
