Logs
Took a stab at the puzzle and I have an answer and I'm not sure I'm right. According to the link to the GeoChecker, I am incorrect, but I noticed that the GC's don't match.
This cache's GC is ............................................. GC1BJZ8
The one listed on the GeoChecker link is ........... GC1BJX8
In fact, when you are at GeoChecker and try to click BACK to this cache, it send you to ANOTHER cache called Summer SP #12. Should I assume that it's just a typo but the information is right in that the coordinates I have are indeed incorrect? Or is that a big enough mistake that I shouldn't rely on the Geochecker?
I tried to email the CO, but with no response. Looks like he hasn't logged in in 9 months. Hope he is ok. The cache itself hasn't been found in 20 months.
Hoping for some advice, perhaps from someone who's found it in the past. I'll put this on the backburner until I know what to do next.
I guess for now, thanks for the code, it was fun trying to crack it.

As I'm pretty sure I found the container (albeit without a usable log book) I have decided to go ahead and log the find. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.
Did I find this cache? I'm not sure! I solved the puzzle and went to the location. Sure enough there was a container there, but it was full of water and some fragments of dissolved paper.
If we had a cache in the location of the initial coordinates, we would name it either magacha' or achakmak' because laña while scoping out the area, we totally magatcha'd a couple in a car across the street 
Sigh...solving this puzzle with ease completely reveals our team's generation/age

My journey starts back in November...the day before Thanksgiving to be exact. Sherbear asked for my help in cracking this one because she saw that it was the same as another code I'd cracked. I started it, but it slowly fell to the back burner. I saved it on Pablo (my laptop) and I'd go back to it from time to time. I got stuck on part of it, so I went back and read the logs. Jimp59 mentioned that there were FOUR different kinds of codes used.... aaahhhh that made sense why nothing sounded right!
Got another headache, took another break and went back and then I got THREE different codes down. But I was still stuck on the 4th code. What the heck could it be? Again, I let it go to the back of my mind because I wanted to focus on other puzzles. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore so I brokedown and I e-mail blygoat. I told him how far I'd come and begged him to give me a HINT for what I was missing. I was down on my knees!
So tonight, my family and I had just come home from Christmas mass and I checked my e-mail and saw that he had e-mailed me back his *hint*. It hit me and I googled it and thought *himph!* I would have NEVER guessed! I plugged in the coords and WOOOHOOO!!! SUCCESS, FINALLY!!!
It was super late, but I had that adrenaline *get it NOW* pulsing through my veins so I call sherbear up and she's on the way home from a friend's house...I volunTELL her that she's going with me! We get over to the GZ and there is a muggle going with his family to their car. *crappers* As soon as the coast is clear we look again. In no time at all sher says I GOT IT! The container is completely soaked and so is all the contents. We spill it out and take the log to the car to dry it out with the heater. We signed the log and return it to the bag taking extra caution to seal it properly.
I must say thanks for keeping my brain in its current *smoush* state. And I also need to say a BIG thank you to blygoat for the hint. I would have NEVER been able to guess that last one. Oh ya, and Merry Christmas! What a wonderful way for me to spend my Christmas: cracking a code and (cracking up while) getting a cache!

Its 11:30pm on Christmas Eve and I'm heading home from Lacee & Faiths humble abode when SannnRox calls and says she wants to find this one cache in the area. I bust a U-ie and we are off. Weeks ago, I had asked SannnRox for some help with this puzzle (alright...basically...I got lazy and handed this one over to her...which she willingly accepted). SannnRox started working on it but for some reason...we both put this one on the back burner. It wasn't until recently where SannnRox revisited this puzzle and racked her brain until she could crack it. With a little help from Blygoat...she was able to do so.
We find the cache and as we are signing the log...our cellphones go off. ITS CHRISTMAS! We were so caught up finding this cache that we didn't realize it was midnight. This was our first Christmas cache of the day! =D
TFTC,
Sherbear

Finally after over a year of seeing this one on my to do list we finally grabbed it. Thanks Jimp59 for the extra clue to solve this one. Arrived a GZ and had to use my best caching skills to get it due to all the traffic and muggles. TNLNSL TFTC.

I showed up and it was right there. Brain will now begin recovery from code overload.
Found today while caching with JIMP59.
HEX indeed! I have seen worse HEXES in Pennsylvania, but they have meaning! Wow what a numerical mumbo jumbo. Did you do that on purpose, or were you having a bad day with your alphabet soup? [:o)] Just Clowing a bit! The outer container was full of water so I emptied it the best that I could. The cache is in good shape.

After some detailed conselling by a friend ( Thanks Blygoat!), we solved the mystery of the coordinates and I went off with Pegbee and found this cache. We grabbed the Maren geocoin and the Lego to Singapore TB to keep them moving along. T - goecoin and TB, L Guam keychain. TFTC.
This one had us stumped for a while. Blygoat finally gave us a clue and away we went. Thanks. MC
Figured this one out today thanks to the clues. Figured out the verbage with no problem (seen it on two other caches here). Came to the coordinates and figured out the first and the second part quite easily. I knew what the third part was but couldn't find anything appropriate on Google to decipher it. So I asked my computer guy if he knew a program that could decipher the code. As soon as I told him what it was, he said, that's simple, no calculations are necessary nor is it scientific, just...Hah! Thought I was going to give it away, huh! Sorry, you'll have to figure that one out on your own. Anyway, verified the coordinates with the owner, found out they were correct and then went straight to the cache with Wandahfoh. Spotted the cache as soon as we got there and spoke with the owner. Also received a very cool "Supercacher" geocoin from him! Overall, this was a fun cache to do! TFTC and the GC! TNLN-SL Discovered a geocoin and TB in the cache.
