Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!!

This puzzle is a little like the shell game where you need to keep track of where the pea is. While this game has no pea, it is important to pay attention to detail as to the movement of information within the following grid:

To solve this puzzle, complete the following tasks:

Column 1: This column has been filled in with the beginning information for you.

Column 2: Unscramble the letters in column 1 to form a common word, and place in grid from top to bottom.

Column 3: For each letter in column 2, determine the word that starts with that letter and count the number of letters in that word:

1W) Postal abbreviation of the 50th state of the United States

1E) To take away surreptitiously by force; to kidnap

1H) A hint given by shutting the eye with a significant cast

1Y) Moving or causing motion; active, as opposed to latent

1E) The reflux or flowing back of the tide

1A) A long knife, or short saber, common among Mohammedan nations

1K) Excited by desire in the pursuit of any object

Column 4: Reduce the numbers in column 3 by one.

Column 5: Using the word equivalent of the numbers in column 4, re-sort the numbers in alphabetical order (A-Z).

Column 6: Increase the numbers in column 5 by two

Column 7: Using the Spanish word equivalent of the numbers in column 6, re-sort the numbers in reverse (Z-A) alphabetic order.

Using your solution in column 7, cache is located at:

N 41° 54.(W-2)(E-6)(H+1)
W 90° 0(Y-1).(E-7)(A+4)(K-2)

PLEASE NOTE: The container is inside a "holder". You MUST sign the logsheet found INSIDE the container or your find log will be deleted. When you find the container, do not use force to open it. There is a very simple way to do that, and the information to accomplish that task is somewhere on this page. Container size listed is appropriate as it is much larger than a micro but there is only room for a log, so don’t forget to bring an extraction tool and a pen/pencil to sign your name!!

Your hard work can be verified here via Geochecker.com.

After you have verified your coordinates on geochecker, you should review the encrypted clue if you haven't done so already as that piece of information is vital in claiming your smiley

Good Luck, and Happy Caching!!

CONGRATULATIONS to alicach for FTF!!
