Mongo: ### ARCHIVE OF GEOCACHE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BY THE OWNER ###


Greetings Faery_G,

I hate to see any cache go, but I am archiving this cache since there's been no response from, nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT

Geocaches not maintained by the owner will still be archived even when a throwdown container has been left. Ownership Regarding Throwdowns

Regretfully,

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates!

The final container is located in front of the house by the alley on the East bound side of the street. Permission granted by owner of residence. Please do not dig or handle any of the plants or landscaping. The container is easily removed without having to disturb the placement of anything in the area.


Like Tin Woodman told Dorothy at their first encounter, "When a man's an empty kettle, he should be on his mettle."  He is so true.

However, my mettle is hard to handle when I am suffering from an empty stomach. I become a hot head and feel lava could erupt at any moment. A term created for this situation is HANGRY! All it takes is for my magma like mood to be directed to an eatery and I quickly become cool enough to deal with. Cache container is actually hidden on what used to be a ladel for molten metal. For that reason, the puzzle to solve involves terms that involve metal working.

Use some of these terms to get the final coordinates. When you find the correct term use the corresponding number to fill the position on the latitude and longitude spaces.

The final is at N 38 36.AB W 090 12.CD
