Geocache Description:

This cache is meant to be pretty easy in solution, find, and terrain. Its what's inside that may be tricky... FTF gets an unactivated Travel Ingot.
Park hours are Dawn to Dusk, and unfortunately, no dogs are allowed.

This puzzle is one part of the PAGA's Puzzling Peregrination of Pittsburgh cache series, a joint effort by the members of PAGA. Each of the initial five puzzle caches (GC1Y6JV (this one), GC1N1T2, GC1P413, GC1W3VM, GC1P3PD) will contain a puzzle which, when decoded, will yield part of the coordinates to the final cache GC1N0N7.

Once upon a time, there was a geocacher who needed to find the last, and hardest, piece of a puzzle so that a wondrous, magical, mythical cache could be located. He sat in a park in the eastern part of a magical land called Paga with all but one of the puzzle pieces in his hand. He closed his eyes, and dreamed...

The geocacher was on the mound, ready to pitch, when a robot appeared! This robot was not like any one he had never seen; It looked like a short cylinder with wheels on the bottom, but with a puppy dog head! As he approached, a light shone out of the robot, and a beautiful woman appeared in holographic form. "There is something familiar about this," he said to himself...
The woman spoke to him:

This is the easiest of the caches that you must find, geocacher, but the puzzle hidden within is the hardest. It is not far from where you are resting right now. In fact, the degrees and minutes are the same as where you are right now. To find the decimal part of the degree coordinates, you must solve an easy puzzle. Think about the names of little green men.
The latitude puzzle is this: Benjamin, Abraham and Ulysses got together but lost George... Twice.
The longitude puzzle is this: William lost Benjamin twice, but got together with Abraham. In the end, they found George twice.
You must find the cache: You are our only hope...


The beautiful woman in the hologram disappeared back into the robot, who then barked eagerly at the geocacher...

Who woke up suddenly and knew exactly where he had to go! Off he went, to find the ammo can of his dreams. And perhaps, one day, he would meet the beautiful puzzle solver again...
