 		Honest to goodness I would love to, I keep telling my husband I never will and he says I can (but he loves me! lol) This puzzle has taught me that I am slightly smarter than I thought I was but not nearly smart enough. I stared at the Tierras coords. for an hour knowing I just had one # wrong....my 11 yr old got on the computer while I was in the bathroom and figured it out in about 30 seconds! I have cheate....uh......got help on 2 of the puzzles and figured out the rest on my own (with the help of my crazy smart daughter)

I am a Volvo marketing persons dream come true. 40 year old mom who has only owned 3 cars in my whole life.....all Volvos. currently driving a 1993 / 240. When I went in to the dealer for my map they were falling all over themselves to talk to me, they took one look at my car and thought it was a guaranteed sale for sure! haha.....

Everyone wants to win the car to sell it, I would drive it, probably for 20 years (at least 10!)

I have lots of thoughts about where this is going but sometimes am a little shy to post them as I have never "blogged" before. Tried to put a few ideas out there on another site I found and got shot down like a dog and felt really stupid. I just hope the winner is a real Volvo lover and not just a person who won because they are a computer wizard.

The keyword is lengths

Then you have to count the beacons of light to get the coordinates.

I was a cryptic tech in the navy and have looking at these lights for the past hour and all I com up with is that the coordinates are bracked by extra letters: 5178_9959_. It's not working for me
