Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES! You must solve the puzzle to find the cache! This ammo can in the woods is weighed down with enough concrete to ensure that all but the most tenacious and well-built woodland creatures won't be nudging it ANYWHERE, so I have decided to forgo my usual tether system.

Parking for this cache is approximately .45 miles from GZ and is only exploitable during the normal hours of the park. (Note: The cache is not in the park, but parking there is the best bet.) If after hours, you are on your own. If chosen correctly, majority of the trail is County-manicured although a little mushy. The last few hundred feet will be light bushwhacking (with a possibility of being upgraded to medium during the spring/summer). I saw plenty of deer and hog tracks, and the usual mosquito, tick and snake precautions apply.

 

This is my first attempt at placing a puzzle cache, I hope you enjoy it and don't laugh at my simplicity too much. :) As I have a Second Degree Black Belt in Google, I was able to find all of the information for the solve online, but I can only hope that some folks will pick up this amusing book and do things `the hard way'. The actual crossword puzzle is uploaded to this cache page as an image so you know how many blanks you have to work with. A big bow to the waist for the authors: Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman!
