Geocache Description:

The Third in a series of Puzzle Caches celebrating Great Canadian Musicians

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

Since the release of their debut album, Great Big Sea, in March 1993, Great Big Sea have become synonymous with Newfoundland music. They are best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs, which draw from the island's 500-year-old Irish, English, and French heritage.

When they go on tour, transplanted Newfoundlanders flock to their concerts to get a little taste of The Rock far from home. Those of us who are not from Newfoundland flock to the concerts as well, and wish we were from Newfoundland.

Watch the video found in the link below, and answer the question to find the coordinates of the cache.

Throughout the video, newspaper headlines are shown. Collect all the words in the headlines and convert them to single digits, then solve the puzzle.


The cache is at N44 56.(12)(5)(10+8) W075 31.(6-7)(9-4)(13)

WARNING:The cache is easily accessible during the winter. During other times of the year, this will be an unpleasant wet and muddy walk, mostly thanks to the 4-wheeler damage.
Feel free to try, but the terrain will go up accordingly.



Good luck and have fun. This won't be an Ordinary Day!
