Geocache Description:

<<The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the true coords solve the simple puzzle below. This is a log only (BYOP).>>
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.  Fasten your GPSr strap, place your logging device in the full solving position and prepare for takeoff on the KCI Geocache Challenge Express once again.


The log can be signed prior to meeting the challenge requirements, but the challenge cannot be claimed as a find until all requirements are met.  Please report any container issues to the CO for repair.  Any signatures on unauthorized replacement containers will be deleted by the CO.  The average D/T rating for these caches is 1.5/1.5. The higher rating takes into consideration the requirements for meeting these challenges.  Please be aware of the approach of other incoming flights on your taxiway and pull safely to the side to avoid collisions (as an added caution on this taxiway I recommend stopping along north side). Have fun and thanks for flying KCI! 

And now for the challenge:  

We have enjoyed traveling the country and seeing the major cities as well as the Hamlets, Burgs and even the crossing of roads that call themselves cities.To log this challenge you need to find a cache in a city that begins with each letter of the alphabet (A-Z), but you can use 2 wild cards where the letter appears somewhere else in the name.  (The macro GetLocations will populate a Place field in GSAK)
