Geocache Description:

The terrain is relatively easy with just a little brush, and some animal trails. However, these coordinates only take you to the parking area. You must figure out the coordinates for the cache from the story below. You will find the numbers for the coordinates in order, in the story below but there is a secret to figuring it out. A little bird told me the day this cache is to be approved is RScout's birthday.

Once upon a time, many years ago, a little boy was born and his mother named him Roger. She didn't like traditional boy colors so she dressed him in yellow or green. Yellow became his favorite color. He eventually even married a girl with yellow hair named Sharon. On the day of their wedding she wore an orange dress that took Roger's breath away. The skies were gray on that day but there was joy in their hearts. Everything else was the green of Spring. They went on their honeymoon in an ugly old brown Ford Pick-up truck and spent their wedding night in a quaint little black and gray cottage by a lovely lake. That evening, over the lake, the sunset was brilliant splash of color, in various shades of orange. Everything was serene and they thought they had arrived in heaven. The next morning dawned with an awe-inspiring red sunrise -- a promise for a bright new future. Sharon wore a beautiful red blouse with her jeans as they took off on a hike. When they arrived home from the honeymoon Roger surprised Sharon with a 1979 shiny black Scout, and and she surprised him with a black labrador puppy. Many years later they learned about a wonderful hobby called geocaching and they joined this group of people who loved the same sport. Here they are still living happily ever after, and Roger is having another birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RScout, and many more.

RScout should be first finder for this cache, and even if he isn't, the wrapped item in the cache is his Birthday present. The only catch is he has to promise Red Hot Mama he will maintain this cache when she isn't around ;>).
