Geocache Description:


Woody's Woods is a hiking and recreational area of South Coventry Township. Geocaching is allowed. HOWEVER THE AREA IS CLOSED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND GEOCACHERS DURING ARCHERY SEASON, September through January each season.  Check the annual notice for exact dates. The 2021-22 is posted in the Gallery. WOODY'S WOODS IS OPEN ON SUNDAYS, also for geocachers, DURING ARCHERY SEASON, because no hunting is allowed on Sundays. Please adhere to this for your own safety and for the preservation of the game.

Don't go to the posted coordinates. They are a random place in the woods. To find the correct coordinates, read this story and solve the puzzle.

It was late in the afternoon and I was entering a more remote section of Woody's Wood. I hard noise like digging and several voices. I saw in the distance what looked like a couple of university professors and several graduate students. They had established a perimeter and were digging and sifting - an archeological site! One of the students saw me with my GPS, compass, and geo--bag and came running towards me. "Come here," he called, "the Professor has something to show you." The Professor was a doctor of ancient languages and he showed me an old parchment scroll. "I'm glad you came. This looks like geocache coordinates." I stared at the parchment and was baffled. Can you help? Here is what he showed me. Can you find a geocache with this?
