Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to identify the coordinates, which will help you discover the cache container and its contents, which are near concrete and slightly off the path.

-- puzzle starts here --

I love the puzzles that sum geocachers put out their for us to solve, and hopefully this is won of them. Some puzzles have us doing mathamatics to come up with sum vary large numbers, so its good to memerize an few squares and square rutes. If you're lucky, you will recognize the method that they are using to render their coordinates. Their are many possibillities, and a cache owner (CO) doesn't want us to get the solution two quickly (I'm usually only able to figure out about twenty precent of the puzzles because there just too tough (or else I’m just too dum)).

I love figgering out (or at least attemping) the solution two the puzzle cashes - even thought I’m not to good at doing them. The puzzels usuallly have me scratching my head, searching the internet, doing some wierd mathamatical calculations, or going foreward, backward, and upside down looking at shapes, characters, or matrixs to figure out something, or the worst punishment ever - having me figure out the mumbleings of a South Park character (its amazing I'm still sane). Often I have to seak the help of the internet, using it's vast informational resourses to find vital clues. All I have to do is enter some key words into a search box (on the Google web page for example), and look for any information that wood relate to the puzzle, but even with all that I may come up empty.

So, I thought I’d do a puzzle without the need for internet searches, assuming that most geocachers have at least eighth years of education. You will only need the plethora of knowledge that is already in your mind (albeit somewhat hidden and inaccessible) because this puzzle doesn't require special mathamatical skills, or looking at a puzzle backwards, upside down, or viewed in the mirrer or anything wierd like that. Just work it through and find the fifteen items that you need to render the coordinates (in order to find the cache); and if you need help, you mite want to go back to you’re eighth grade teacher or get eight of your closest friends to come over an help. Friends are greight; they help us get through life’s ups and downs; and there even helpful in solving puzzles. Bye the weigh, in this puzzle, you need to identify fifteen things that relate to the cordinates; for esample, their are three paragraffs in this puzzle, and we know that three is usuallly the first character in our set of cordinates. So, you're challenge is to determine weather or knot this relates to the puzzle, or weather it just gives me an ideal for the next puzzle. On second throught, their is know weigh I wood ponder long enough to figure out how to do it because that wood just be too hard to do; but then again, I guess I could do three paragraphs, and then put in a key word like eight, and then have another seven paragraphs, and then the key word again, and so on (which would result in a very long and boring puzzle -- so I’ll stop hear so know one gets too board).
