Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDS ARE NOT THE COORDS TO THE CACHE YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO GET THE CORRECT COORDS!!!

Since we have been enjoying so many puzzle caches lately we have decided to come up with one of our own. Tell us how we did since there is alot of competition out there as far as puzzle caches go!!

Once I worked a short summer stint in a library. While working there I befriended an old guy who seemed a bit crazy but was cool to talk to just the same.

Sadly enough, the old guy was taken ill and ended up in the hospital. I went to visit him to bring him some books from the library to read during his stay.

He appeared happy to see me and told me of secret information he had on a hidden stash that had been passed onto him but he had been unable to solve. He made me promise that I would solve the puzzle and find the stash since he had never been able to do it.

He said to me "If I am going to die soon then this could be considered my last request. Please do not deny a dying man of his final wish"

So I promised that I would do my best and then he handed me a piece of paper with a bunch of scrambled letters on it and said, " Remember boy, I have been told that Melvil is the key.

I am asking all the geocaching community to come forth to help me with this huge responsibility. I just don't know if I can do it alone.

Here are the coded words he gave me:

The first finders prize is a collectable green man coin by geocachetreasure.com. Some believe those favored by the green man receive the gift of insight, so if you are possibly one of the favored, then this puzzle may come to you easily. The stash is hidden in a small ammo can.
