Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the actual location of the cache.

240 actually doesn't seem like that large a number to me. 20, on the other hand, seems like a really large number. Funny how that works. Anyway, I haven't quite reached 240 yet, but thanks to many of you, I'm almost there.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Special Notes about the 2022 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, if one even happens in 2023, as we haven't had one for the past two years). The real challenge is to see whether I can even figure out how to create a new puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: The parking spots nearest to the cache are restricted.
