Through geocaching I have met many wonderful people with Froedo Bagginz and Lasa (Hosta Head) certainly ranking amongst them. Now take Fred (Froedo); he's a straight up dependable take charge kind of guy. I guess you could describe him as a North/South kind of dude. And while Lisa (Hosta) is certainly responsible and all, I picture her more as a free spirit sunrise planter of things to beautify the world kind of chick: a true East/West girl if ever there was one.
We've worked together to solve difficult puzzles, cached together several times, and hung out at events. They are caring parents who are involved and present in their kids lives, are generous with their time and efforts with things like supporting children with special needs and scouting, and are just great people in general.
On February 2, 2012 they logged their 2000th caching milestone - Winterstock 2012 . Below you will find a table where I've compiled some of the caches they've visited since joining the geocaching family in late 2009. Click here or on the graphic below to be taken to a larger copy of the image. It won't be of particular benefit to solve the puzzle, but if you want to print out the chart, it is set up to print out for an 8 1/2" X 14 (legal sized) sheet of paper.
Cache is within 2000 miles of the posted coords. Solve the puzzle and then add .005 to the North and add .010 to the West for your final coords . There will be a few hundred feet of bushwhacking through moderate (dry if following the advise of the additional waypoint information listed below) countryside while you seek out an ammo can. FTF gets a handy dandy all-metal 40X lighted eye loupe so that you won't have to enlarge the puzzle sheet anymore : )
Congratulations to Froedo Bagginz, Hosta Head, Wind Talker and Wolf Tamer for being FTF !!!
What's that? You say you need a hint to solve this puzzle? Well let me think. . . . . . . . . . . . . OK if you want a hint I'll give you one but you'll have to work for it. In true 2K fashion; decrypt the following using ROT2000 - LOL:
