Description
PLWL
You may see a cache description where the only clues given are 3,2,5,3
Which means 3rd paragraph (or verse), 2nd line, fifth word in that line, third letter in that word. Then sometimes you are required to convert that letter back to its alpha numerical value - a=1 b=2 etc.
See if you can find the town we travelled through in our journey today:
1,3,8,2 3,2,1,2 2,3,2,2 4,4,6,4 5,1,6,5 5,3,7,3 2,4,2,7
Read the following from the picture in the Gallery if you are using anything other than an iPad to decipher it.
On the road and going through Dookie at eight. The silos are full after a bumper year and the tarp covered bunkers are proliferating at a great rate, with wheat trucks lined up to deposit more grain. All the paddocks around are either stripped or being stripped. A busy time for the area.
The agapanthus in the gardens at Dookie and St James looked lovely. We found our first cache in Wangaratta with a year of unloved on it, before refuelling in Wangaratta at 9.20, then heading out of town to El Dorado. Stopping at Mt Buffalo Views for a panoramic scene and cache.
Muggle Hubby loved the four wheel driving, and once again the yellow everlastings were everywhere through the bush, which was alive with the sound of cicadas. Birds were chirping, there were lots of golden butterflies, and the only thing out of place was the sound of leaves crunching underfoot. The scenery here is amazing but we cannot tell you anything else about this part of our adventure other than it was highly successful.
Next we found Buttrey’s Rock a really beaut clever cache by ILookedThere. On our way into Beechworth we found a cache I’d solved in 2014 but hadn’t been here to get. The next stop was at Beechworth for a Ned Kelly Pie, and, of course, a beesting. My choice then was to travel on to Stanley for three mystery caches there, one Adventure Lab, and a traditional as well.
By now it was a quarter to seven but we wanted Muggle Hubby to see the top of the Murmungee Basin for an Earthcache there. The view was superlative but the sun in the wrong spot for photos. Time to head homewards arriving after a very full day, at eight pm.

Locationless Cache Wiki Information
Armchair style Locationless caches where the finder is not required to explore the real world, identify a location and accompany the 'Find' with photographic evidence are no longer accepted.
A Locationless cache listing must require the finder to locate an object or perform a task in the real world, collect the co-ordinates and log the find with accompanying photographic evidence.
The geocaching community would like to thank you for listing this Locationess geocache and congratulations to all that found this locationless geocache.
As the geocache no longer meets the requirements we will archive the cache listing.

Then the place was quickly identified.
Must try and remember this code.
Thanks.
We had no trouble decoding this on the iphones as we used the photos in the gallery.
Well, we’re thinking perhaps we have actually seen this code before and didn’t have a clue what it was about. Let’s hope we remember this lesson for when we see it again.
Thanks heaps Cybergran V. .
Decrypted it correctly once I followed your instructions
My most humble apologies to those whose time I have wasted.
Hopefully it is correct this time.
Congratulations to Michief who cleverly deciphered my original blunder and made a very calculated answer with what other information was available to her - and isn’t that what code solving is all about?

It’s amazing the scenery we saw, the tricky roads Muggle Hubby drove us along, and the caches we found. A good fun day.
