The cache is not at the coordinates posted above. To find the cache, solve the puzzle.
The title of this cache has nothing to do with the puzzle -- really. This is a multi-part puzzle, but it shouldn’t be that tough. Not a multi-stage puzzle -- there are a few layers to work on to get the coordinates, but no locations to visit other than the cache.

First, figure out the name of the book in which zwklwjhjqffw was the main character. She’s a tough lady, had to deal with a lot of shifty people.

Second, what year was that book published? Once you have that, look up the benchmark whose point ID is KKYEAR, with the numbers of the year of publication substituting for YEAR. (For example, if it were published in 1968, you’d be looking for KK1968.)

Once you have that benchmark, project a point 361 meters away from the benchmark at 178.2 degrees true. That’s where the cache is!



Congrats to PantalaNagaPampa for a very quick FTF!

I like this spot. We had a fun time solving the puzzle with a large group over dinner.

I solved this puzzle some time ago and finally made it out this way to put my name on the log. The hint helped make this one a fast find. Thanks for the fun puzzle and hide.

P. S. No animals (including humans or PayMeCache) were harmed in the writing of this log.

I solved the puzzle a couple of months ago and finally made it up here today to search for the container. It turns out that the puzzle was the easy part. I searched and searched around the final coordinates without luck until I read the hint which quickly led me nearby into a quick find. Tftc!

After touring the area I made my way to this cache puzzle I had solved several months ago. I had coordinates to both the BM & final but I have no idea what I put into Cachly because it took me 1/4 mile further than I had to after I entered the final coordinates into my GPS. It was very hot too. I hadn't seen anyone else the whole time until I got to 150' from GZ but he must have continued the other way.
