Geocache Description:


Usually geocaching is a treasure hunt, but today it is something of a phrontistery. And, let’s be honest, a day when you learn nothing is a day wasted. So hopefully you might learn something from this little puzzle.
So go on – exceed your expectations and you will excel…

You’ll find the cache at North 51 AB.CDE  East 000 FG.HJK where

A is the name for a town or country in a foreign language

B is to disinherit   

C is due to external forces or causes

D is cannibalism outside one's own group

E is one who goes out; emigrant

F is outside the law

G is part of a country surrounded by foreign soil

H is to blow away; to exorcise

J is to cut off; to uproot

K is to desanctify; to deprive of sacred status

 

Fill in the grid. Convert the letters in the blue squares into numbers in the normal way. To extract the exact answer, zero will be anything exceeding nine.

And to extract the log you’ll need tweezers.
