Definitions of piety on the Web:
righteousness by virtue of being pious
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Piety is a desire and willingness to perform religious duties. It is a traditional virtue because religion is the only known way to win the favor or forgiveness of deities, that is, to "propitiate" them.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piety
(see pelican)
www.burkes-peerage.net/sites/common/sitepages/heraldry_p.asp
Just as faith was an important medieval virtue of particular importance to knights, piety kept that faith strongly held.
www.chronique.com/Library/Glossaries/glossary-KCT/gloss_p.htm
(Pietaet) is "the subjection toward the holders of authority and toward one another" (SC, House Community).

Reverence toward God or the gods; religious devoutness

mmmm. definitely some sort of phone code, man you guys are fast.
it's still istn't quite right when you run them altogether it makes:
Ntgrtyfgr3selvenpointnindournine
Wninetysevenfgr3sfiftydotehtzerothr3
since the start is:
N30.14.100
W97.47.750
I get:
N30.11.909
W97.50.033
maybe?
it's tough there might be #s together, too llike i need to separate the 3's or 4s into 2 parts

This cache is not at the posted coordinates, but lies within 2 miles of them. Deducing the correct coordinates will require some mathematical insights.
Finding this cache will take you from 6,277,851th place to 4,494,680th place. But don't let that go to your head. This cache will not be found with ease, but only by those who approach it with appropriate piety.
Total hiking distance for this cache varies from 1 to 2 miles, depending on your entry point to the final cache site.
Satellite coverage should be very good at both the first waypoint and the final cache location. The cache is a large ammo box, with some appropriate goodies. First Finder should tear off the first page of the log book and take it with her.
Hint:
For solving this cache, a B.S. in google beats a Ph.D. in math.
Waypoint 1: opposite side over hypotenuse
Final cache: Rotten indefinite integral(1/x). Follow the barbed wire.
thanks,
Tanya

Oh Yeah and there is a picture on the page of a kid playing a guitar, so i guess musical notes is a possibility too.

Hello,
I am not so good at numbers puzzles.
: I play a game called 'geocaching' and there are two sites I play it on - www.geocaching.com and www.terracaching.com You use a gps to navigate to a particular logitude and latitute, once there you find a container. People can give you the long lat or they can give you a puzzle to solve to figure out the long lat. This one is a puzzle and i am stuck.
It shloud be somewhere near this coordinate: (the N 30 and the W 97 are right for sure and maybe the next two numbers also, or at least close, maybe one number off in either direction. Thanks in advance for your insight! 
The answer could be words or coordinates.

darn teenagers. Is it too much to ask my son to leave a simple note about where he plans to be when he goes out?! Here is what he left me today:
66844444777899933347773333777733555338883366766644
46686644466333336668877766444663396644466338999777
73388833663334777333377773334443338999366683344444
489999337776668447773333
I swear I think he does this on purpose just to drive me nuts. Since I can't figure this one out, hopefully some of my fellow TerraCachers can. Just where the heck is Zach?
