Lee Highway and Rosemary Lane Mystery Cache

This puzzle is dedicated to Dr Amell who taught a class I attended from 9-10:30 MWF first semester of freshman year. As I was working on this puzzle I learned of his recent passing. The three piece suits and the bright red socks he wore every day were mentioned in his obituary.

There is NO cache at the posted coordinates. If you check, you will see that they put you into an intersection on Lee Highway. Being realistic, there is no way I could get a 1.5 terrain puzzle to be in the middle of a busy commuter route, so it is obvious that these coordinates are bogus. If your solve ends up being there, it isn't going to pass the geochecker. Feel free to look there but you will NOT find a cache placed there by me.

While VPDJ and I were working on GC4C0RR, suffice it to say I went down a very many ratholes, blind alleys, red herring spawning grounds, and other places where the time was totally wasted in trying to figure out a solution to that particular %@.&%$ !@.#%* puzzle. The only bright side to the effort, OK besides the smiley, was that one of the things I tried gave me a glimmer of a scintilla of a thought for a puzzle. When I fleshed it out, what I ended up with was what is below.

He + Kr
Lv - Y
Xe - H
Lr
Zn + Rh
Fr - Li

I have seen similar things before but nothing exactly like it. And clearly some obfuscation was involved on my part but that was mostly to keep things interesting. Obviously, some of you will pick up on the starting place almost immediately. I really did not intend for it to be a killer, just something for everyone's mutual amusement. If you really do not know where to start with this one, drop me a note and I will be more than happy to give you a nudge toward the general direction.

You are looking for a micro so bringing the appropriate piece of equipment will be important. Hopefully, I do not have to tell you what that particular piece of equipment is. Because this is a puzzle, please do NOT leave travel bugs and the like. They tend to sit there too long. Plus, they likely won't fit.

The cache name is just where the reference coordinates are located. It has nothing to do with the solution. Or if it does, it was not intentional.

There is parking in the vicinity. The specific choice of location is best made after a consultation with a map. You may have to cross a street at some point. Or maybe not. If you do, please look both ways. If the terrain gets steep, you are lost. The muggle factor at GZ could go either way.

Once again, if you already have one or more FTFs please wait 24 hours from the date of publication, and we might be able to share the FTF wealth. Of course, once the log is written into the first time or after 24 hours are up, all bets are off. I cannot enforce that request but I will ask nicely. And if it weren't my cache, I would have to wait too.

And since this is a Northern Virginia cache, the usual warnings apply: Heed all signs, unplug electronic devices during thunderstorms, and Semper ubi sub ubi.
