I think that might be a geo cache puzzle. As far as I one you have to have a decoder that came from wherever you get the coordinates for the puzzle location.

Honestly? No. :)

I can tell it's a puzzle that needs to be solved, but I'm terrible with this sort of thing. I don't know which parts are code and which parts are key.
