Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the cache, you must solve the following puzzle to get the final cache coordinates:

1. Print the words HIGHWAY BILLBOARDS, omitting the space.

2. Change all H's to S's.

3. Delete the second consonant.

4. Delete the first L.

5. Change the W to an N.

6. Delete the first B.

7. Change all I's to E's.

8. Double the third vowel.

9. Insert a T between the last two consonants.

10. Delete the sixth letter.

11. Switch the second E and the R.

12. Reverse the order of the last ten letters.

13. Change the D to a C.

14. Delete the fifth vowel.

15. Move the second S to the end.

16. Change the first A to an E.

17. Delete the sixth consonant.

18. Move the C to the immediate left of the first E.


Now, take this 13 letter word and break it into two words, one 5 letters long (designated "X") and one 8 letters long (designated "Y"). Using a=1, b=2,...z=26, assign a numerical value to X & Y and use it in the following equation to determine the final cache coordinates:

N 46 25.(X + 410) W063 34.(Y + 426)
