A Simpsons-related cache in North Boulder

The fourth in a series of caches relating to Simpsons trivia.

 

 

The final is not at the given coordinates, but they might be a convenient place to park if the lot is open.  If not, there is parking in the neighborhood to the north.  The final location is within a short distance by foot or bike (say like from 742 Evergreen Ter. to the Kwik-E-Mart).

Before heading out, determine the number of letters in the:

 

name of Selma's iguana                        ___________ A = ___

last name of the Crazy Cat Lady               ___________ B = ___

first name of the Jack Lemmon-based knockoff  ___________ C = ___

first name of the quack doctor                ___________ D = ___

first name of the white cop                   ___________ E = ___

first name of the black cop                   ___________ F = ___

first name of the school's chief bully        ___________ G = ___

name of the airline (w/o AIR) they flew

   to Ireland                                 ___________ H = ___

name Skinner uses to address his mother       ___________ J = ___

ongoing name used for the family cat(s)       ___________ K = ___

Homer's middle name                           ___________ L = ___

first name of the Asian realtor               ___________ M = ___

name of Milhouse's Italian uncle              ___________ N = ___

         (checksum A thru N = 72)

 

Final coordinates of the cache are:

LAT:     40         (K-J) . (M+1) (N-6) (C+F) (mm.mmm checksum = 17)

 

LONG:  -105   (G-H) (A-2) . (B-6) (L+4) (C+2) (mm.mmm checksum = 20)

 

With thanks to Duffman for the mini Duff keg for the final.

Not on the ground.  Mag nano, log only, no nano pen. No direct access from road.

This one hasn't been found in a while, and I haven't done a mystery in a while! It was a good match. Quick and easy once I got to GZ.

Not having watched The Simpsons since the early days in the early 90s, I wasn't familiar with most of the characters or questions and had to rework the puzzle a couple of times before I got the check sums to work. It was a quick solve after that. Parkinh coordinates are no longer a good option, it's event parking only now, but there was ample parking in the nearby neighborhood. A nice walk along the trail, a quick hop over landscaping fabric, and the log was in hand. TFTC!

All back to normal; the city had them move the fence.

Looks like the final got fenced in due to the butt-ugly project our growth-hungry City Council has approved. Will relocate shortly.
