After the onslaught of micro caches recently, PattyAnn and I
decided that it was time for a regular size cache hide in the area.
We also decided to do this cache as a puzzle cache, but we wanted
to get away from the Sudoku craze.
Therefore, this puzzle cache utilizes my favorite type of
puzzle, the Codeword. A Codeword is a special crossword puzzle in
which conventional clues are omitted. Instead, answer words in the
diagram are represented by numbers. Each number represents a
different letter of the alphabet. All 26 letters of the alphabet
are used. When you have identified a letter, write it in the code
key chart above the puzzle diagram and cross it off the alphabet
chart given below the puzzle diagram.
When the puzzle and alphabet chart have been filled in, use the
following calculations to determine the oordinates for the cache
location. It's that easy, or is it? The calculations utilize each
letter of the alphabet at least one time as well.
Cache is located at:
N41 (U+F-M-B+Y).(C+H-K+O)(T-P+L)(E-S+M)
W90 (D+I+Z-A+R).(G-Q+H+O)(N-W-X)(V-J+B+O-L)
Note: As stated above, this is a camo waterproof plastic
container. The hardest part of this cache will be solving the
puzzle as the actual cache should not be difficult to locate.
Please be sure to cover the cache container completely after
your visit and thank you for your patronage to a SpaceCowboy &
PattyAnn Geocache.
