Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! This should be a fairly simple puzzle for you...


While you were gathering the other 7 caches on the island, did you notice they had one or two numbers the container? No? uh oh.

If you did, did you write down the number(s)? No? uh oh.

If you wrote them down, did you write the appropriate number for the cache where you found that number? No? uh oh.

Oh, so you wrote down each number and correlated it with each cache. Good for you! Now then, given that info, you can solve this puzzle.

Two types of information, you'll need!

N 45° 16.ABC W 122° 58.DEF

For N 45° 16.ABC

If you've collected those numbers & recorded the caches they came from, look at the difficulty rating on those caches & fill in from highest to lowest: (Note: if you are having difficulty determining the "Medium" number, take a peek at the hint)
