Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Imagine a set of 5 words related to one another as follows. The second word begins with the same 3 letters of the first word, the third word begins with the same 5 letters of the second word, the fourth word begins with the same 6 letters of the third word, and the fifth word begins with the same 8 letters of the fourth word. All letters are different except for the second letter which is used twice in the fourth and fifth words. The following list illustrates the nesting of these 5 words. The words at the end of each line rhyme with the word that you'll need to find.


W1 = L1L2L3 = gnat
W2 = L1L2L3L4L5 = audio
W3 = L1L2L3L4L5L6 = ashen
W4 = L1L2L3L4L5L6L2L7 = national
W5 = L1L2L3L4L5L6L2L7L8 = chaparral

The final coordinates are calculated by multiplying the numerical equivalent of each word by the following numbers. The numerical equivalent of each word varies from 5 to 14 digits and is for you to determine.
