Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but the cache is within 2 miles of the coordinates and can be driven to.  Solve the puzzle below to get the coordinates for the cache. I love word and number puzzles. This is part of a series of puzzle caches.  Note: the final easy to find, but it is in a high muggle area.

This puzzle is a Word Scramble.  Unscramble the words below.  Once unscrambled, put the letter corresponding to the number below it in the appropriate place in the puzzle key.

For example, in this scramble:


OIMVE   __ __ __ __ __
               40

…the word is MOVIE.  Since the letter V corresponds to the number 40, you would put the letter V on the line above the number 40 in the key.

Once you solve the key, you will have the coordinates.

Please note, I made this puzzle extra hard on purpose.  All of the scrambled words have multiple solutions.  Some will work in the key, and some will not.  The key itself has a little bit of a twist as well.

Assume that the North coordinates begin with N38 4.
Assume that the West coordinates begin with W104 4.

FIRST TO FIND will receive an unactivated trackable.

Enjoy!
