Geocache Description:


There is no container at the posted location.  Solve for the keyword to obtain final coordinates.

I liked to do word searches as a kid, and still like to do them occasionally.   The magazine Modern Maturity had one each month that was large with lots of words that I always enjoyed doing.  I didn't care for the number word searches as much, but I did like those that weren't necessarily in a straight line.

For this word search, I am not giving you the words -- only the categories that they fall in, and the number of words in that category. Also, the words are not necessarily straight -- they can change direction left, right, up or down, but not diagonally.  Letters will be used only once per word.  I'm sure you'll have some assumptions about how to come up with the final answer.   But as I often try to do, the method to achieve the final answer may just poke a bit of a hole in your assumptions.
