Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the cache location. The puzzle below will yield coordinates of a sign with a magnetic block stuck to it. The final coords, which are within walking distance, are printed on the block. The final cache is a camoed peanut butter jar.

A bit about this series of caches: I've only met Jason of Team Joyson twice. The first time was when he was working on one of my caches, and the second time was at Champoeg 2005. He is very likable. An all around nice guy in every way. So why am I trying to torture him? Well, it turns out that he'd done a bit of searching online about me, and found all sorts of things from my past that put me in a most... unflattering light. He found things on the web that I had forgotten about, and then he shared them with others. The last straw for me was when I logged onto the pdxgeocaching.com forums and saw that, much to my surprise, he'd changed his avatar to a picture of me that had been taken about a week prior. Some people would view this as "stalkerish" but I realize that it's all in good fun, and I wouldn't have out any of that stuff on the web if I didn't think it was funny. But Jason simply has no idea who he is messing with. So I set up the No Joy For Joyson Series of caches to remind him that Bonch will always have the last laugh 73% of the time.

The idea for this puzzle is plagiarized from another cache in the area, but tweaked just enough that nobody was hurt. The coordinates will take you to a couple of signs, one of which might have the final coordinates on or around it. The final is walking distance from the signs. In the Future, maybe Jason will think twice about leaving his town unattended.
