CONGRATS BAJATYM ON FTF!
The cache is not at the posted coordinates. The puzzle below will lead you to a landmark that will serve as the guide to the cache's final location. You must solve a puzzle to reveal the coordinates that lead you to the landmark. The cache is NOT available 24/7. Please check the hours of operation when you discover the final location. When you reach the final location, check the Classics ;).
I think you will find that the land owner of the cache location is very cool. The land owner was kind enough to allow me to place a geocache here and they are excited to have new visitors to their location! So, don't be shy when you discover the final coordinates. I think you will be delighted by what they have to offer and I encourage you to avail yourself of the services they have available (particularly if you are a local to this area).
Without further ado, allow me to present the puzzle you need to solve to find this geocache!
The puzzle I present here hints at the final location of the cache, the container it is held within, and most importantly it provides the combination to a lock holding it shut.
To solve this puzzle, you will need to provide your solution in the Certitude link I provide at the bottom of this page. To answer correctly, you will need to write out the specific playing card that the puzzle solution involves followed by the 3-5 character code (can be composed of numbers or letters). You will need to write the type of card (e.g. the number or face card type), followed by the suit the card is a part of (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, or Spades), and lastly the combination (3-5 character composed of numbers and/or letters). If there is no suit for some reason simply leave that out. I want to make it easy to enter if you have the correct solution so here are some examples of how to enter it below:
If I think it is the Jack of Spades and the code is ABCDE, I would enter the following = JACKSPADESABCDE
If I think it is the Jack of Clubs and the code is 12345, I would enter the following = JACKCLUBS12345
If I think it is the Jack of Hearts and the code is AB1, I would enter the following = JACKHEARTSAB1
If you think it is a Joker and the code is 123A, I would enter the following = JOKER123A
The correct answer will give you the coordinates where you will find a landmark with a sign and the code is how you access the cache. The sign you find at the landmark has arrows denoting different locations in the surrounding area. Looking south at the sign from the coordinates, follow the arrow pointing left to a "realm of silent knowledge." Pay close attention to the bonus information in Certitude. This will tell you exactly how many feet you need to travel from the landmark and at what heading. By heading, I mean the direction that the you will be pointing, which is measured in degrees from North.
Enter this realm of silent knowledge and go all the way to the back north-east corner where you will find these silent keepers of knowledge. One of these is not like the others. You need only look behind the cover of the container that is hinted at in the puzzle below to find what you are looking for. Have fun and good luck! Here is the puzzle:
