Geocache Description:


You don't need to go to the posted coordinates. And trust me, you don't want to.

Here are a bunch of colons. These colons can magically transform into a set of coordinates... if you have the magic touch. And you probably have the touch.



As a rudimentary checksum to provide some confidence that you solved the puzzle correctly, just add up the digits - they should add up to 51.

So, once you have the coordinates, go there. Then when you arrive at the spot, divert your gaze toward Duppa Butte, Arizona. At that line of sight (pretend you are a flat earther), but at a much lesser range than Duppa Butte, you may notice some words. Four words to be exact, presented in three lines. Total count of letters in the three lines is 24.

Use the code that is hidden in the secret world of letters!
A = 2nd Line 6th Letter
B = 1st Line 9th Letter
C = 2nd Line 5th Letter
D = 2nd Line 3rd Letter plus 3rd Line 2nd Letter
E = 3rd Line 4th Letter
F = 1st Line 2nd Letter minus 2nd Line 4th Letter
G = 3rd Line 1st Letter
H = 3rd Line 5th Letter minus 2nd Line 3rd Letter
