Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted location.  Solve the puzzle below to get the correct coordinates.  BYOP.


I like making puzzles that are both creative and involve reasoning.  There are already many hard puzzles around here, so my attempt should dazzle those who make puzzles.

Some Geocachers inspired me although they may not know of my plans.  Recently, when some cachers were talking, an idea came which would make a really hard puzzle.  The thought remained in my head for a few days, but wouldn't come out.  I had my hands on my keyboard, however zilch appeared.

Now, I know the key to generate a tough puzzle: trust in your own ideas and ignore everyone else.  Once I was inside my own brain, the process began.  I considered many possible ideas because each was possibly going in my puzzle if I desired. Then, the puzzle occurred to me as rather apparent. The answer is simple.  All info you need is here.  And you will indeed smile once you finish my puzzle.
