Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to determine the actual coordinates.

Most days, I drive my Ford (a Fiesta, not an Escort) along the Nimitz freeway on my commute to work, but sometimes I take a different way altogether, and I avoid the Nimitz. Today was one of those days.

Special Notes about the 2012 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. If you have worked as a team (or otherwise shared knowledge), please email me separately, so that points can be distributed correctly. All "point" scoring is arbitrary anyway, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration banquet). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Puzzle was updated on 7/29/2017 and again on 1/17/2021. You must enter the new coordinates into Certitude. There used to be a boat here for kids, but now this place has gone to the dogs; so the cache has been moved.
