*** UPDATE: On the morning of April 17, 2009, this cache received a
much needed upgrade in size.
Many thanks to JohnLeo for use of the 50 cal ammo can. I hope you
see it again one day!
Of course, some goodies had to be placed inside the cache to entice
future finds. They include: an unactivated travel bug tag, one 1
euro coin, an old Garden State Parkway token, several Sudoku
puzzles, two old baseballs, and three unopened packs of Fleer
baseball cards from 1988. Happy caching! ***
The above coordinates are for a Leatherstocking Trail sign. You
cannot park at the sign. Closest, legal parking is on Highview
Street. You will need to solve the “Greater Than
Sudoku” puzzle to come up with the cache’s actual
coordinates.
Here’s a brief explanation on how to play Greater Than
Sudoku. The rules for regular Sudoku still apply: each row, column,
and three-by-three block must contain the numbers 1 to 9 without
repetition. In addition, the value of each individual cell must
obey the relationship between the cells specified with
“greater than” or “less than” symbols. For
example, 7 > 1 is correct, while 7 < 6 would not be right.
Got it? See example picture.
Cache coordinates are: N 40° 57.ABC W 073° 44.DEF
Substitute the letters with the numbers in the coordinating squares
in the Sudoku puzzle.
