Hemlockiana Mystery Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
This cache honors that great NorCal Reviewer, Hemlock. Make sure you jot down that code at the top of the logbook. You'll need it for another cache in the future.
He has done more for geocaching than I'll likely ever know about. I do know that he is incredibly patient with newbies, and that he will work with cache owners to see what changes they could make to get their caches published. He also has a good sense of humor, which I'm sure has got to be an asset if you're a reviewer. He has been cache-honored before--check out some quality hides from 47Dad47.
To solve this puzzle, you'll want to keep in mind that magic distance of 528 feet. Keep your distance! Hemlock knows why it's important, and you should too!
I'll start you out with N38, W121, but you will have to find the other 10 digits yourself. You may find Hemlock not far from these 10 spots:
N 33° 20.788 W 105° 40.873
N 39° 57.306 W 075° 36.389
N 43° 10.314 W 070° 52.977
N 31° 03.788 W 097° 23.346
N 38° 04.546 W 077° 47.960
N 44° 55.008 W 092° 58.024
N 52° 58.214 W 122° 27.367

N 41° 10.780 W 073° 47.764
N 30° 26.196 W 088° 54.842
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
