Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache. The cache is NOT hidden at the posted coordinates. To find the actual coordinates, you must solve the puzzle below. The cache container is a large ammo box.



The answer is in the usual decimal minutes format. A series of numbered clues has been posted in the logs below, as encrypted notes. You'll want to read the clues in order (oldest first) if you like a good challenge. You can view all of the (decrypted) clues by showing all logs, or you can jump to particular clues here: 1 2 3 4 5 6.

I will be happy to confirm your coordinates if you want to check with me before heading to the cache.

You can check also your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

In case you don't have access to the image, here is a text version of the puzzle:

   2D    7C TH
         6D

The cache is hidden in this park, not too far off a trail. It's a great park for hiking and camping, and fine for the kids. Dogs (on a leash) are welcome. Great for horseback riding too. There is a $3 fee for parking.

Special thanks to Bisanabi for help hiding this cache.

Congratulations to Cat Lap, the First Finder! And thanks for suggesting clue #6.

Your feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!
