Puzzles frustrate me. Forwards and backwards. They really do. I've always been one of those guys who just likes to see the answer already and marvel at how crafty a mind-trick is. I just go right to the back of the book and find the answer, then go back to the page I was on and fill in the answer, knowing I wouldn't have guessed it, but pleased that I'm in the "know." I rarely have the patience for thinking through the obscure puzzles and only sometimes actually know how to figure out the easier ones. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this game has forced me to try harder at puzzles. I was looking at a thread on a puzzle and someone posted an idea that might help solve it. I went far into left field with the suggestion and what I *thought* was the intended decoder was just not. Below is some gobblydygook that looks similar to that puzzle and you are tasked with pulling out the coordinates by doing what I thought I was supposed to do. I've already given you clues, so hopefully, I'm not being as obscure as I think all those other puzzle caches seem to be.
