Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates WILL NOT lead you to the cache, but if you continue reading below about one of my favorite childhood movies you can easily find the actual location...

 

1986's ¡Three Amigos! is still one of my guilty pleasure movies. I know it isn't clever, well written, or even funny most of the time, but its absurdity and honest, college attempts at humor have always made me laugh. I can remember watching it as a child of no more than 7 or 8 and loving the innocent naivete of the lead characters, and the sinister nature of the dastardly "El Guapo."  My recollections of the characters may just help you find this cache. Read the following carefully for clues and solve the puzzle! 

Lucky Day: There is zero chance you wouldn't notice the loud, brash, often obtusely obnoxius leader of the Three Amigos enter the room! He was always impressing with his quick wit and general obliviousness!

Ned Nederlander: Ned is one creative cookie! He was always the optimistic one of the group, and even in time of dire peril he could raise the spirits of his fellow Amigos. 

Dusty Bottoms: The most well meaning of the trio, Dusty often found himself so close to successes he was too dumb to notice, yet his contributions toward the other two Amigos will never be forgotten. 

 

Once you have figured out each characters' value to the group, you are on your way to solving the following puzzle:
