Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I was recently solving one of Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian dAnconia's caches and it got me thinking.

I wonder how many people realize that Francisco d’Anconia is a character in Ayn Rand’s book, Atlas Shrugged?
He is king of the copper industry, and a 'friend' of the protagonist Dagny Taggart.

The tagline for this book should be "Who is John Galt?"
John Galt is a pseudonym, but the real question is: is he a pawn or an instigator in the strike?
The Strike, by the way, was the working title of the book.

But I digress….

To find the cache, you must solve the following:
