Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES! You will have to solve the puzzle to determine where the cache is located.

Everyone knows of the legendary MacGyver! He could solve complex problems and escape from any peril with just a few bits of ordinary household items. Today, we use the expression, "Just MacGyver It" when we need to come up with an ingenious solution to problems that we may face.

There are two parts to this cache: the first is a mental challenge and the second is a physical challenge. You'll have to use your best MacGyver skills to solve this one!

And now, for the mental challenge...to get the coordinates for this cache, decypher this puzzle:


Once you've solved the puzzle,confirm the coordinates in the checker below. If you've got it right, then prepare for the next challenge.

The physical challenge begins once you arive at the cache. You will need to figure out how to retrieve the cache from the container. As you know, MacGyver was quite ingenious in figuring out solutions by utilizing devices he created from items he had on him. If he were you, he would probably have on him a stick of gum (with foil wrapped around it), a few coins, some kind of string or dental floss, a thumbtack, and a metal paper clip. (NOTE: The cache CAN be retrieved with one or more of these items...nothing else is needed to retrieve the cache! Please do not remove or damage the cache container.)

Once you've figured it out and retrieved the cache, your final challenge is in signing the cache. For this, you will just need to think like a geocacher, or in this case...MacGyver It!

If you think you've broken the code and are ready to "MacGyver It", check your answer for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

*****Congratulations to CrippledGoose and RUanIdiot on being FTF! True MacGyver's! Also, a big shout out to Rxbudd and 321kaboom for hitting their respective milestones of 800 and 1,200 finds on this one!*****
