Geocache Description:


If you for some reason go to the posted coordinates, there is nothing there that will help you in finding this cache.  You need to find the correct coordinates by deciphering the information below:

Welcome to how computer programming used to be done.  Back in the day code was entered using punch cards.  Each punch card represented one line of code up to a max 80  character limit.  So if you had a program that was 1000 lines.  You had 1000 cards you carried around with you.  Each card was fed into the computer one at a time to execute the program.   Now image the fun if you trip and spill out the cards scuffling them up.  You would then need to reorganize the cards in the correct order before you could run the program again. While I missed using punch cards by a few years, I heard stories of them.

So I'm going to present two such punch cards.   The correct coordinates to find this cache can easily be obtained by deciphering the information on the cards.

Have Fun!
