This is a mystery cache. The listed coordinates are for a micro
cache that contains a hint to the puzzle (if you need it). You must
solve the puzzle below to determine the final coordinates. You need
to make some keen observations and then a correlation. The final
coordinates are within 1 mile of the micro cache hint coordinates.
There is parking near the micro cache with a hint. This cache may
be difficult in the winter if there is more than 3 feet of snow on
the ground and the micro with the hint can easily get covered up by
plows in the winter.
