Geocache Description:

N 38° 51.740’ W 077° 16.490’ (but not at these coordinates)

For those of you that saw the movie Walk the Line, there apparently is a sequel entitled “Jog the Circle”. It is a fictitious account of another Cash family;.one that has a child named Geo.

It turns out that Geo is kidnapped and the family gets a telephone call from someone named Billy Napper (Billy Napper is named after the famous cowboy, Billy, “The Kid”). Billy “The Kid” Napper indicates that he has Geo Cash well hidden and he will give his location only after the Cash’s come up with $1 million.

The Cash’s search everywhere they can to come up with the required cash, but can only come up with some of the ransom. The tell “The Kid” that they could only come up with some of the money he wanted, but they would give him all the money they had if he would please give them Geo’s location.

“The Kid” took the money and indicated that since the Cash’s only gave him a portion of the ransom, he would only give them a portion of the location. He gave them the following coordinates: N38º.5 and W77º1.

Frustrated, the Cash’s yelled that was no help; Geo could be almost anywhere. It would take forever to find Geo with only a partial set of coordinates. Billy “The Kid’ Napper indicated if they wanted more information then they best come up with the remaining money.

Try as they could, the Cash’s only could come up with only some of the remaining required funds. The begged “The Kid” to take the money and give them the necessary information. “The Kid”, of course, took the money and them handed the Cash’s the following information. The coordinates are: N38º5A.BCB and W77º1B.D DE.

That’s no better than what you gave us before we gave you the additional money. You promised additional information. Smiling, “The Kid” said he had given them additional information. The letters were from the following arithmetic puzzle – solving the puzzle will help give you the solution to the location of Geo Cash.

  A E I D F H C G
