Puzzled, Ithaca Edition: 4/4/11 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

teamajk: This one had a very good run and it was one of my favorite early puzzles, but it's time to let it go. I checked on it today after the recent DNF and it was either muggled or has been reclaimed by nature. Despite a lot of poking around there was no sign of the cache or any remnants of it. It's gone. Thanks to all who visited!

Geocache Description:

This cache is the fourth in a series of puzzle caches to be placed in the Ithaca area. We hope to place one each month.

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. You will need to solve the puzzle to figure out where to go. The location has ample room for parking. Depending on when you go, there could be a number of people around, but much of the time it is quiet. We do not recommend this cache after dark. Cache is a pill bottle camo'd with black tape. There is a geocaching.com compass zipper pull for the FTF. Please use stealth and re-hide as well or better than you found it. Solve the puzzle below for the coordinates.


Seeking our first cache, "J" was reminded of her childhood friend Nancy; so when Nancy paid a visit to Ithaca, we offered to let her make this hide for us. Unfortunately, Nancy forgot to provide us with the coordinates before she left town ... all she gave us was this map. She's not much of an artist, but here is what Nancy drew:
