Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Heck, it's not at the puzzle solution either. You'll need to use the checker.

Welcome to this edition of Doublespeak, where each of the answers is composed of letters used exactly twice. The number of letters in each clue word is given in parentheses. The final is a cute spot on the UC Davis campus. And remember, ABC=123, LMNOPQ=234567, XYZ=456.
