Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the given coordinates. There is plenty of parking near the given coordinates. You might want to go there to see what there is to see. There is also good parking near the actual cache hide. This will prove to be a very, very difficult puzzle for most, if not all. If you don't like challenges, then this puzzle may not be for you. I have purposely left out information on solving the puzzle to make it more challenging.

Solve the following puzzle to get the information required to determine the cache's final coordinates: xhwkkb

When solved correctly the actual numbers following the decimal points for both north and west will be determined by substituting numbers for the place in the alphabet the letter appears. For example A=1, B=2, C=3 .... Z=26.

The solution to the puzzle has six letters. The first three numbers are for the north coordinates and the last three numbers are for the west coordinates.

No, the name of this cache is of no help. This is meant to be a difficult puzzle, thus hints and additional information may be provided after the FTF.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Congratulations to yuuenchi on his very first FTF!
