Krypton: As there's been no response to my previous note, I assume that the cache is not going to be repaired or replaced, so I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Geocache Description:

Cthulu likes to keep his coins safe.

Welcome my doomed friends. Do you dare to traverse the bogs and backroads of the infernal vernal swamps? Can you solve the riddle in the map before I ooze toward you from my slimy haven? It will be no use for you to go looking for my locked coin chest until you solve the riddle in the astral map attached. The Necronomicon might help you fight the supulchral beings in the swamp..but it will not help you open my locked treasure. If you live in San Francisco you will have a leg up.

If you are lucky enough to crack the mystery in the image please be a good geocacher and only take a micro coin if you leave a micro coin. There is only enough room for micro coins in this cache.

The correct checksum = "36" ..but there could be incorrect checksums that = "36" A = 1

Congrats to ArborDuo for the FTF... nice puzzle work!!
