The cache is not located at
the posted coordinates.
This puzzle uses a familiar decoding device, but a little
additional math will be needed. Once you figure out the
“formula”, the letter sequence that follows can be
converted to the digits of the full coordinates. Then you will need
to place the spaces and decimal points correctly to get the numbers
into the standard coord format.

But... this won't QUITE get you to the cache. When you have
worked out the decoding process to get the coords, you should be
able to come up with a chart you can use to reverse the mapping,
and convert the following number sequence to words. This will
provide instructions for an adjustment you will need to make from
GZ to find the cache. In this case, though, some numbers can map to
more than one letter, so you’ll have to do a little trial and
error to find the right words.

(NOTE: This is a check for the puzzle solution coords; NOT the
adjusted final location.)
You are looking for a camoed lock-n-lock. Please try to also
replace the natural camo, so it's not too exposed.
Original contents:
- A lovely Jim&Jackie Geocoin I received as a gift, and am
starting on it's adventures.
- Miscellaneous items, including some Halloween-related
things.
- For FTF, I am feeling especially generous... So a gift
certificate that should be enough for a gourmet meal, including
your favorite beverage, at a world-famous local eatery!
PLEASE NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that
some phones (probably the kind that you have to crank, and ask
Ethel to ring up the General Store) have a different button
configuration. Please be sure to use the letter/number combinations
shown below for your decoding.
!NOTE! LOCATION CHANGE
--
The original spot was a victim of urban deforestation. The
lumberjacks were kind enough to leave the container nearby, though.
Look under the bush at the nearest corner of the nearby building.
Be careful of muggles; and VERY careful of traffic!
You might also want to try for my other new
puzzle hide "Do I Hear A Symphony??"-(GC209BB), which is very
nearby.
Congrats to ecrane
for a pre-dawn FTF!
