Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  You must solve the puzzle to locate the cache.

I've been given a lot of grief about my recent hard puzzles.  So I decided to be nice and create an easier puzzle.  The hard part, for me, was coming up with an idea for a puzzle.  For some reason, driving on the interstate on a beautiful sunny day, my thoughts turned to songs about rain.  There are so many that I like listening to, no matter what the weather.

The cache can be found at N AB CD.EFG  W HJ KL.MNP
