If you decide to visit the posted coordinates (which is not necessary to solve the puzzle), you might find some four-legged sources of a raw material here that you could use to work out this puzzle. You might even see some of these guys being sheared if the season is right, or take a class and learn to spin that wooly fibre into yarn for knitting with.
So pick up your needles, and off you go!
Final coordinates are N43 3A.BCA W79 2D.DEF.
FINAL COORDINATES HAVE CHANGED as of May 13, 2018.
The puzzle has NOT changed, but now there's a wee bit of arithmetic to find the final solution. Once you've done all your knitting and have a nice looking set of coordinates:
- subract .001 from the North coordinate, and
- add .004 to the West coordinate.
- There you will find the cache, using the handy hint provided in the checker.
