Geocache Description:


So I made a robot. It's true. You guys think I'm dumb. But I'm not. See...a robot. Have you created a robot? I didn't think so. What does he do, you ask? Well, admittedly not much. In fact, his only task was to direct me to a new cache. I programmed him to do this. And being the master programmer I am, I'm confident he's giving me the right answer. Unfortunately, he just keeps spitting out two strings of numbers, and I have no idea what they mean. Maybe he just speaks a different language? Who knows. Please help me out. I need this to work. If not, they're going to take away my programming license. Who are they? What's a programming license? The last person who asked me this no longer exists. Perhaps worth noting that that person never existed, since no one has ever asked me that, but they are dangerous questions nonetheless. Anyway, the following are the lines of numbers he keeps spitting out. I know the top line is the North coordinates and they start at 40 degrees, and the second line is the west coordinates and they begin with W 73 degrees, as the robot's never been outside of that general area; still, even with that information, I have no idea how to translate this gibberish into useful information. 

 

Output 1: 85-76-105-103-66-72-118-69-86-77-119-108-103-71-86-109

Output 2: 71-100-118-109-71-66-118-82-84-115-71-87-76-103-72-118-69-86-109-115-70-109-119-73-118-87-103-115-82-73-71-66-72-114-99

 

Oh, one other thing. If you ever get a chance to meet him, please don't call him a robot. He thinks he's a real person, and should be referred to by his name. What's his name? Obviously, it's Habi Atbascii. Why did I name him that? I mean, why wouldn't I name him that?
