Geocache Description:

NOT HIDDEN AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. FIGURE OUT THE SALESMAN'S SECRET. Dedicated to '39Geezer. May I be hiking as strongly in 2052.

Boss: Look at this!

Mid-Level Peon: Looks like a GPS.

Boss: Yes! How did you know?

MLP: I've used one before.

Boss: I’m impressed. Good job. The salesman said they are rare and require careful study before revealing the cash.

MLP: What salesman?

Boss: He called himself '39Geezer.

MLP: Whaaat?!

Boss: He said it was his nom de cash.

MLP: That doesn’t even make sense.

Boss: He had me at ”nom…” I mean “cash.” Anyway, he told me that this GPS can find hidden cashes. You're supposed to put in as much as you take out, but I figure this is just what I need to pay for my upcoming golf vacation.

MLP: None of that is right...grammatically, technologically, morally...

Boss: Your big words mean nothing to me. I paid a lot for this Great Price Seeker, and will be finding the secret cash in the mountains!

MLP: What did you call it?

Boss: Great Price Seeker. G...P...S...You didn't think the name was just the letters did you?

MLP: No. I know the name is an acronym. It's just the letters don't stand for thos...

Boss: Acrowhat?! That's not even close to the right name. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

MLP: Yes, I...nevermind. How are you going to find anything? Do you even know how to work one of those?

Boss: Of course not.

MLP: Then how are you supposed to find the cache?

Boss: You're going to find it for me.

MLP: What?! Says who?

Boss: Me. That's who. You want to keep your job, find me that cash!

MLP: I...I never...you... fine. Give me the GPS and the coordinates to the hiding place.

Boss: Coordinates? What are those? He gave me a riddle and a photo. The first one is free, but he'll give me more riddles to more cash for only $3.00 a month.

MLP: He sold you a GPS and then gave you a riddle?! I don't trust this guy.

Boss: He used to run 100 mile races and he plays with rattlesnakes . What's not to love?

MLP: He sounds unstable to me! What if the secret is a rattlesnake?

Boss: Stop whining. He did mention something about being careful where you put your hands looking for this one. Here's the riddle:

A geographic feature of old
Contains the secret clue
At the bottom of Johnson's Hole
Find the boulder of blue
Kneel on the north side
And there it is

MLP: Shouldn't that last bit rhyme?

Boss: He said the rattlesnake venom affects the right side of the brain first.
He also said that the riddle isn't the only hard part. Only someone with ManaGeRial talentS and extensive knowledge of their Great Price Seeker will be able to solve the clue once you get there.
He clarified that he had nothing to do with any unnaturally blue objects that have been there for years.
Now go get the Cash!

MLP: You mean cache.

Boss: That's what I said.

MLP: Whatever.
