This is a Gresham cache, with forgiving terrain, and complex puzzles. You will need a car, calculator, and iron will.
First off, let us say, "Good Luck". This cache, while it demands little physical exertion, requires moderately advanced puzzle-solving skills. This puzzle cache is but the tip of the iceburg friends. We at Team Bali-Song have decided to push the Geocache envelope to new cerebral heights. But for starters, let's see if our late night haunts provide a fairly simple tour for you.

This letter/number chart is very important, and you'll need to keep a full copy with you throughout the entire journey. Keep in mind, that the letters in this chart, and the variables in the puzzles are case sensitive, so pay attention. We'll only give you a small portion of it, it's your job to complete the pattern of letters and numbers:
A|Z|B|Y|C|X...
1|2|3|4|5|6...
Waypoint #1: "Everyday at 1:00 am"
Your first set of coordinates brings you to Team Bali-Song's public headquarters. At this location, white glowing letters will help you along. **In recent months the technique for finding this clue has changed!!! Because we are firm believers in night caching we won't require you ask an employee or customer for information as this place is no longer 24 hours. So instead we'll give you this clue... Ask anyone from town, what the store used to be called. In an emergency contact Team Bali-Song and we'll help.**
