Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache, requiring you to determine the last 10 digits of the given coords by recognizing some codes, so don’t bolt to the hide until you’ve made sense of the strangeness below. To view MY source of the codes, you might have to snoop around a tad.




As always, every aspect of your thinking you should carefully check; some facets of it might, after all, be faulty.  When you’re confident you have solved the puzzle, Certitude will tell you if you’re correct.  It goes without saying, doesn’t it, that YOU are responsible for every aspect of your safety while searching for this cache.  It’s meant to be a quick grab on a country road, but in the tranquility of the GZ, you could lose your focus and be struck by a car.  So please be careful.  We don’t want to see the gory details of your demise splashed across the front page of the Carroll County Times!

Safe parking is a mere 25 yards south of the GZ.  Please do not park on private property or block the road.  Putting your flashers on could be prudent.

The grass isn’t often cut, so tall boots might be worth wearing, and for the dark nooks and crannies, we assume a flashlight is de rigueur for serious geocachers.

So here you go:
