Geocache Description:


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

My friend Anna told me her favorite topics once. I'm not sure I got them exactly right here; so I might be paraphrasing:


  • Take on loan or just steal [11]
  • The health club I go to [5]
  • We get hysterical in a church seat [13]
  • Long heroic stories [5]
  • Crazy cats [13]
  • Canine poop? Sweet Lord! [13]
  • Cover the walls again [7]
  • Baseball numbers [5]
  • Japanese model for nearly fifty years [5]
  • Northern California pastry shop [11]
  • Alien bean curd [7]
  • Worshipped [7]
  • Prostitution house boss [5]
  • Fear of this puzzle [11]
  • My choice is 3.1415... [9]


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Special Notes about the 2021 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 one even happens in 2022, as we didn't have one in 2020 and it looks dubious as to whether we'll have one in 2021). The real challenge is to see whether I can even figure out how to create a new 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 puzzle: There used to be a sign here that I thought was in theme, but upon further research, it turned out not to be in theme after all. Anyway, they took the sign down, but I decided to leave the cache here anyway.
