The Puzzle
(This puzzle brought to you by LaFavorite Cacher)
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
Three little cows really wanted to go on a grand adventure, and they thought that geocaching would provide them exactly the excitement they were after. They asked their friend, Phil the Cow, to share some coordinates with them, but Phil wasn't quite sure they were ready for this adventure.
"I'm going to give you a test!" Phil told them. "If you can figure out what this message says, you can type it into the Certitude checker, and I will give you the final coordinates!"
Phil handed them a slip of paper with the following message:
OOOWOCWOCOOCWWCCWWCOOCWWOCWWWCCWWOOOWWWOWOOWWW
CCOOOWCCOWWWCOWCCWWCOOWOOOOOWWOCCCOWOCWWCCOOCOW
Can you crack the code and find the final coordinates?
