Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache, the cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle to find the coordinates.

This is the second of my "fun with" series of puzzle caches. Since my name is Geodude2008, I thought I'd put out a word search puzzle. All you have to do is find all of the geodudes in the grid. Once you've done that, just count up the leftover G's, E's, O's, D's, and U's. Then a little math fun and you're ready to find the cache.   The word GEODUDE can be found forwards, backwards, up, down, and diagonal in any of the 4 directions. You are allowed to use a letter more than once as several cross each other. You can click on the photo below to view the puzzle.   AA = total number of leftover G's BB = total number of leftover E's CC = total number of leftover O's DD = total number of leftover D's EE = total number of leftover U's FFF = (CC * EE) GGG = (AA * DD) HHH = (FFF + BB) III = (GGG - BB)   Final coordinates are N45 32. (HHH + 116)  W123 03.(III + 179) You can check your answers here with Geochecker: http://www.geochecker.com/index.php?code=82eb7abd432325f6880ff63677ad5090&action=check&wp=47433544595946&name=46756e2077697468204c657474657273
