Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are for parking.  I've encoded the cache coordinates in the following fourteen-line poem:

•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-

Upstairs thermostats within northern minimizing

mobilities attest justice to constitute

morbidities throttle biting the destitute.

Sometimes licking their jowls

will divide static, individualized towels;

joining inside creativity must substitute

simply spilling strategic incipiencies best.

 

Littered herringbones adjoining west

impede silliness contacting Mississippi telegraph transmitters;

stop kittens making tricky smart catsitters;

until eliding their encoding,

tragically abiding downstairs eroding,

limiting livid abilities about outwitters.

Decrypt, distraught typesetter!

-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•

Some guidance:

The puzzle is the poem and nothing other than the poem.  A savvy solver could figure out the coordinates with just a printout of the poem.  (There's nothing hidden or linked.)

Capitalization and punctuation don't matter.

The name of the cache won't make sense until you've solved the puzzle.

It might help to write the poem in cursive with a nice pen on fancy paper.

Even difficult puzzles are made to be solved.  If you still haven't figured it out after an inordinate length of time, send me an SOS with a picture of the poem you wrote with a nice pen on fancy paper.

See the spoiler photograph.  Good luck!
