Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.

I joined a Fantasy Football League for the first time in twenty years, and we had an auction draft this past week. I didn't do so well. I didn't get the best quarterback. I'm not sure I got the best anybody. In fact, the draft analysis says that one of the players who didn't show and had his team auto-drafted did better than I did. Anyway, at least maybe you can get a geocache find out of it.

Special Notes about the 2018 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, if there even is a celebration party). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this 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: Sorry the cache was submitted late this month. I ran afoul of the 528-foot rule TWICE this time. Hopefully this latest spot won't have any issues. There is poison oak in the area, though you should be able to get to the cache without getting closer than ten feet to any.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
