Cache is not at the posted coordinates!

Came across this container with acdewey while we were searching for a cache over in Denver. Naturally it came home with us to live a second life as a cache of its own!

Step 1:

Solve the puzzle below to determine the cache's actual location.

N 39° AB.CDE' W 105° FG.HJK'

Step 2:

Check your coordinates with Certitude to get a sequence of 4 numbers. Be sure to write these down before locating the container! You'll definitely want them.

Little wooden trophy for FTF!

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

[FTF] #129! WOO-HOO! Second FTF of the afternoon and third FTF by CO Alexjeanne this week! I chased wild geese, and went down a bunch of dusty dead ends trying to figure out this puzzle ever since it first published. I sat, stared, drooled on myself and flailed away until I finally reached out to the CO for a teeny little nudge. She immediately responded with just enough to get moving in the correct direction, and I learned about another great tool for my Geocaching tool belt!

After checking out the cool park down below, (future Adventure Lab?) I enjoyed a nice hike up in between rain storms. I spent a long time searching GZ, lord knows how hard it is to get accurate coordinates in this environment, and after 20 minutes I was stuck. I looked at everything that resembled the hint within 50 feet of GZ, before spiraling out up to 60-70 feet. I finally spotted something about 75 feet to the West, North West from GZ, not far off the trail. If you run into any barbed wire, you're in the wrong spot.

WOO-HOO, then head slapping D'OH! Even though I downloaded the cache offline I didn't make a note of the combo, and of course cell service wasn't doing it's job. I retreated back down the trail far enough to open the Cache page in Browser mode, grabbed the code and returned for the goods. I happily added my purple stamp to the log, snapped a pic and returned as found. This super fun puzzle deserves favorite from me! TFTC!

Helloooo caching friends!

It was brought to my attention that the puzzle was not working as intended – I just replaced the image and tested it and the new image worked for me, so please let me know if y'all are still having trouble.
