Geocache Description:

Can you resist her?

- a color code cache

Don't use the listed coordinates. The cache is not there and besides, you would get pretty wet.


As the tangerine sun was setting beyond the dark emerald isle, the small sailboat glided into the mephitic harbor next to an ancient, rotted pier.

Carmine leaped to the dock, holding onto the bow line and pulled the boat up next to the dilapidated pier and tied a professional sailor's knot and finished with her signature granny knot.

Running her hands through her auburn hair she then stood gazing at the antediluvian ruins of the old harbor village.

Whatever had possessed these Canary island inhabitants to paint and decorate their buildings in such outlandish shades of saffron and apricot was beyond her understanding.

Then Raul, leaping lightly, landed next to her on the pier. His gorgeously muscled torso glistened resplendently in the light of the moon.

He scrutinized her with salacity. Her tawny skin, so smooth and satiny scintillated in the radiant moonlight.

When she faced the lambent moon, he could see her scarlet lips moving in silent song, or maybe she was talking to herself. The ebony water sparkled in the coruscating moonlight, and then effervesced as she poured the dregs of her lemonade into the sea.

Raul clasped her to him, her ivory, alabaster skin glistening and her sky blue eyes opening wide in astonishment. She puckered her glistening, lovely lips and then....

whistled for her ruthless dog Blackjack, who leaped from the boat, bit Raul and chased him into the village. She definitely was not in the mood for romance tonight.

Sorry for the putrid romance novel-like story but within its noisome embrace you will find the clues to find the cache.

This is an armchair mystery cache. Most of the work of finding it will be done at home. After researching this via the internet or old Radio Shack manuals, you should be able to decipher the coordinates.

Checksums for the two sets of coordinates are 22 and 31. If you have them correct, the digits should add up to these numbers.

My thanks to slotrekker and Oreo Pony for their input and help checking my story and ciphers.
