Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, you can go around in circles there if you want to.

How many "F's" can you count in the following phrase?

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS.

You do not necessarily have to get this one correct to find the cache. There is no trick involved. Most people cannot see all of the "F's" because of the way they have been trained to read. Those that read phonetically often see the word "of" as "ov" and never see the "F". So it is with this cache puzzle. There are truths that most cannot or have not seen to be discovered here. See the hints for the correct number of "F's".

There is more to be gained than finding a plastic container, signing a log, trading trinkets and getting a smiley. There are also great treasures hidden in plain sight for those who seek them. Those that have eyes to see and ears to hear will find the narrow path that leads to the answer. Others may search far and wide and never find the way unless they are very Strong.

The cache is at: N40-R7.XED W74-T2.GNO

The CO has internet access only at a library, about twice a week. I may be a little slow to respond to emails but I will be happy to offer suggestions and discuss the subject matter. I believe that this puzzle has a unique and non ambigious solution.
