Default Jimmy Buffet Puzzle

MODS: If this is in the wrong forum, please move to the right one. Thankyou

Totse, I need help solving a puzzle. Solving this puzzle will allow me to find a geocache.

If you don't know what geocaching is:

Here is the puzzle:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=29958bf2-a6ca-4b5c-a0b7-801c89d7a35e

So….N42? W88? Of course, but, here’s the rest: (With sincere apologies to JB)



It’s those changes in latitude, changes in longitude, nothing remains quite the same.

Through all of our running and all of our cunning,

If we couldn’t cache, we would all go insane, if we weren’t all cachers, we would go insane.



A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean

A1A

Coconut Telegraph

Christmas Island

Son of a Son of a Sailor

Boats, Beaches, Bars, & Ballads

Barometer Soup

Don’t Stop the Carnival

Last Mango in Paris

Hot Water

Now, I need to find 5 lattitude digits and 5 longitude (or fill in the x's).

ex. N42 XX.XXX W088 XX.XXX

Since we are given 10 Jimmy Buffet Cd's, I'm assuming each Cd will give us a number 0-9 (yes, 0 can be one of the digits).

We know for sure that:

North is 42: N42

and West is 88: W088

Also, based on the park the cache is located in I'm guessing that the first two numbers for North and West are 34 and 26 respectively:

N42 34.XXX

W088 26.XXX

Simply stated this is all the information I have on the cache:

ITALIC=known
BOLD=educated guess
X=unknown

ex: N42 34.XXX

W088 26.XXX

So Totse, you think you can help me????
