This is a simple field puzzle cache. The posted coordinates take you to an object on a pole. Answer the following questions to determine the final coordinates:
1. There is a name in bold face letters next to the image of a dog. A=number of letters
2. The name starts with a letter. Use A1Z26 and B= numerical value of the starting letter of name
3. The number of times the letter "O" appears. C=# of "O" appearances in name
4. There is a six word phrase above the name. D = # letters in last word of this phrase
5. The number of times the letter "I" appears in the name = E
The final coordinates are: N 37 17.(A+C)(B+C)(B-2C) W 121 55.(B)(B+E)(D)
Checksum of the missing six digits is 33.
A Certitude coordinate checker is provided for convenience. The final stage is a short distance away.
