Nacho is a Chihuahua who loves a good search. Searching for sticks, searching for tennis balls, searching for geocaches, and searching for one other thing: Nacho ate a little too much alphabet soup like his friend Martha and now enjoys searching for words too.
Nacho the Chihuahua
Martha said to Nacho, "I've set up a geocache for you at N40 57.ABC W074 03.DEF, at a place where you like to play. In order to find the missing numbers, I've set up a word search for you using geocaching terms. Find the words, and then use the remaining letters to spell out the six missing numbers. The remaining letters will be used from left to right, starting at the top and working the way to the bottom, and you won't need to use them all. Have fun!"
The Word Search
The words to find are:
- CACHE
- CACHEINTRASHOUT
