The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. It is, however, somewhere in the land of N38 W121. Solve the puzzle to obtain the coordinates of the physical container.

A geocacher friend was telling me recently about her interesting purchase at a yard sale. It seems she found an old Commodore 64 at a good price. She cleaned it up, plugged it in, and it still worked. Well, sort of. She ran a simple routine and kept returning this same output:

LINE1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 11, 21, 41, 81, 161, 321, 636
LINE2 1, 7, 49, 343, 2401, 16807, 117649, 823543, 5764801
LINE3 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
LINE4 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, -6, 56, -528, 6193, -86579, 1425518, -27298230
LINE5 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0

She did mention that the yard sale was at the home of a geocacher. Hmmm...
