They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And yet a word's worth is a poet? I hope that 78 words is enough to get you full coordinates, if not a complete picture.

Special Notes about the 2016 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party in December, and even that might not happen in the right order). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's cache: Sooner or later, I had to hide a cache out here. This month, terrain 3 isn't as steep as last month, but unless you can get to the trailhead I used, it will be a longer hike. Watch out for snakes and thistles. Please try to keep the larger-sized Tupperware in the shade.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
