Geocache Description:

Third in the "Plain Ol' Puzzle" series. Cache is not at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle to determine the real coordinates, approximately 1.3 mi away. Cache is a 35mm film canister with requisite paperwork. Bring your own pen.

My Pop taught me many important things, too numerous to list. But some of the many things he taught me might help you with this little puzzle:

1. First things first.
2. Count your blessings.
3. Follow up.
4. Be consistent.
5. Keep it simple.
6. Check your work.

And now, the puzzle. The first line represents latitude, the second represents longitude. coordinates are in the format Ndd mm.mmm, Wddd mm.mmm.
