Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published coordinates.

The puzzle below includes 5 simplified music snippets and 5 pictures, each of which represents a 4-digit number. To get the actual value needed, add the digits together iteratively until a single digit remains. For example:
    5798
    29
    11
    2


let a =

let b =

let c =

let d =

let e =

let f =

let g =

let h =

let i =

let j =

 

The real coordinates are:
N 54° (a-1)(b-3).(9-c)(d+1)(e-4) W 000° (10-f)g.(h-2)(i+1)(j-2)


Alternative titles I considered for this cache include:
    You Only Cache Twice
    The Cache is Not Enough
    Live and Let Cache
    Cache Another Day


The cache is hidden up high. You will need to climb and reach out to get to it.

Since the cache is in an area that can render a GPS ineffective, I will give a hint to the location. You want to find a tree on a tiny hill up against the "edge". It has a lot of branches coming off it very low down.
 

As with any puzzle of mine, feel free to message me if you want help with any aspect of this puzzle.

Congratulations to marions27 for FTF.
