Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the coordinates above. To find the cache, you must read the information below. I must warn you, the following includes the ravings of a lunatic.

I've driven to this area in the past to look at the city lights, be by myself, and think. The view of the city and Utah Lake is terrific, especially at sunset. One evening while I meditated, I saw an interesting character skipping down the hill. Though caked in mud from head to toe, he looked strangely triumphant.

Seeing the grimy GPS unit he clutched, I decided to initiate a friendly conversation. The fellow's thought processes obviously worked a little different from those of the average person, and I couldn't get anything really coherent out of him. I never figured out his name, so I can only call him "The Mad Cacher."

However, I did make out that he had evidently just hidden a geocache. I scribbled down his babblings, and tried to interpret them. Following his instructions, I did in fact find a cache hidden nearby. I figure if I could figure out what "The Mad Cacher" was saying, so can you.

The following are my notes:

"Mi kas^is la ujo apud uesto cent dek unu gradoj tridek nau^ punkto kvar kvar nau^ minutoj nordo kvardek gradoj dek nau^ punkto du nul nau^ minutoj."

"Sekvu la cervoj kaj la alkoj! Tre kruta! Ne transiru la barilo! Mi s^atas la rokoj! Nur la timemuloj ili ne g^uas la koto! Bwaaaaa ha ha ha!"

So there you have it. Good luck making sense of The Mad Cacher's ravings. Bring small items to trade, and don't wear your wingtips.
