IGNORE THE POSTED COORDINATES!
This cache can only be found by solving the puzzle below.



Atlantic Highlands Harbor

"Superstorm Sandy" was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane during the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. Early on October 29, it made landfall in the US with a copious amount of rain and hurricane-force winds. When all was said and done the storm affected a total of 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and as far west as Wisconsin, with particularly severe damage in New Jersey and New York. Damage in the United States amounted to $65 billion - the 2nd costliest storm in US history (Katrina was #1).

Above is a photo of the Atlantic Highlands Harbor 3 months after Sandy hit. The old moorings and piers have been removed and stacks of new pilings are ready for restoration work to begin.

To solve this puzzler, click the photo above, zoom in and search for the missing numbers for the following set of coordinates using the clues below. Since some of you are seeing the cache on the Turnpike, I've added a stinkin' coordinates checker! Have fun!
