I noticed that a particular area opened up recently after a cache was archived, so I took the opportunity to try and locate a decent hiding spot.
I took some readings and returned a few days later with a cache.
Just find the key and you can get what you need to find the cache.
There are more than 50 ways to leave a puzzle cacher guessing... I know this for a fact now as I am finally nearing an Unknown find milestone of 100.

It was a total disaster! The worst part that it wasn't the first time, he had forgotten her birthday before!!! The plan was to just slip out the back, hopefully undetected, while she slept in late.
Lucky for him, he was able to make it out instead of having to make a new plan!
If he didn't have a present or flowers or even a card for her when she woke up there would be no need to be coy, she will see right through him.
He was telling himself that his plan was: just get yourself free. He couldn't take the car, because she always wakes up to it starting in the garage. He decided it was best to run down the street and hop on the bus.
When he got to the flower shop, there was no need to discuss much. He knew the perfect combination of flowers that she loves. Lee, the man who helped him with the flower arrangement had been in my shoes before.
He made it home before she woke up, and she never knew he had forgotten until that morning that it was her birthday.

Lucky for me, this is not a true story 
To solve this puzzle,
1 - Find the key
2 - Find the source
3 - Key pieces are separated by a comma with 5 rhyming words in the source
4 - A = 1, Z = 26 using the paired 5 rhyming words you find in the source
5 - Add together all the numerical values of the letters = B
6 - N 38° ( 3101.4 ÷ B ) W 122° ( 8540.55 ÷ B )
For example - key piece - She walked around the display and found the shrimp.
Rhyming phrase found in source - (found the shrimp,) skimp. SKIMP = 19 + 11 + 9 + 13 + 16 = 68 = B
This one could be solved with my favorite TOTT...
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
