How did you find PF?

I was looking for a place to ask questions and confirm my understanding. Most immediately I am working on a treasure hunt, or game, for a friend. If all goes according to plan, different features of a map will appear as questions are correctly answered in an Excel spreadsheet. I appreciate the help here in verifying that the answers I am looking for (Excel is looking for) are correct.

As a side note, if you are ever using the Gettysburg Address for decryption key, be aware that it comes in two flavors "fourscore", and "four score". That little space caused havoc with my last game.
