Really a mystery cache, but has features of traditional and multi caches .
The cache is not at the listed coordinates. The listed coordinates are just the beginning of your journey. You may want to solve the puzzle below prior to starting the journey as you will need the solution before the cache coordinates are revealed. The puzzle below is modeled after those often seen in the newspapers referred to by various words like; crypto, gram, cipher, cryptic, celebrity, quote, etc., where each letter represents another, and the author's name appears at the end. In this one, the famous poet author is not really the author.

Puzzle Hint: The letters P, G, I, T, & F equal X, L, O, N, & G respectively. Puzzle Note: After you think you have successfully solved the puzzle, and you recognize the poet, and are certain his name is spelled correctly, you can be quite certain that your solution to the puzzle is correct. From the listed coordinates location, drive in an easterly direction. As you continue traveling for about a half mile, observe the residential subdivision signs, and jot down the subdivision names. You should find a couple. Now add up the total number of words in your list of names. Now multiply that number by 6. Now you need to refer to this larger number as "EE", and can enter it into the puzzle in place of the EE and calculate the cache coordinates. The cache is located on private property. The owners are "cache-friendly" folks and invite you to stroll within a 'stones-throw' of the 'alter'. Congrats to DArR for the FIRST TO FIND And, honorable mention to Indiandunes for a quick second!
