Geocache Description:

This is #59 in a series of 70 geocaches being hidden to celebrate HiDude_98's awesome achievement of having found 70,000 geocaches. I'm sure it won't be long before we are celebrating 100K!


NOTE: The cache IS NOT located at the posted coordinates (but the posted coordinates can help you solve this puzzle)!

I know that some people are afraid of puzzle caches. I am trying to help cure that by creating some REALLY EASY puzzle caches, and this is one of them.

I think that this is a gem of a puzzle. And if you try to solve it, I think you may find that your knowledge has more facets than you expected.

There are two steps to this puzzle. The first step is to figure out a keyword. The keyword can be found by answering the following question: What are the gem related shapes that you would see if you were to stand at the posted coordinates? Now, enter the keyword into the following Certitude link (hint: it is a plural word):


Once you have entered the correct keyword, you will be given a link to a document that will allow you to find the final coordinates for this cache, in the format : N AA° BB.CCC W 0DD° EE.0FF, using the information below.

AA = Freeborn John minus Lucifer
BB = Hard Cushion minus Six Pack
CCC = Whoopee Cushion plus B Still My Heart
DD = Americana
EE = Twister minus CheckMate
FF = Ayn Rand plus Ballgame minus Arrow

You can check your final coordinates here:
