Geocache Description:

For those of you who enjoyed my previous Schongalla's Challenge II and Schongalla's Challenge III, here is the fourth (almost) annual challenge. Enjoy the hunt. This year the puzzle is a little different. Enjoy!


This cache is located in the Edward R. Schongalla Nature Preserve in Riverside. The Nature Preserve closes at dusk. It is a nice little neighborhood park area with just a few trails through it. The park extends out to both sides of MacArthur Drive. Parking is available along MacArthur Drive (with a few restrictions on one side of the street on school days).
PSSsssst! Keep Looking.
Beware! This cache will be more challenging during the summer months when the leaves are on the trees limiting satellite reception. Good luck and have fun! Be sure to catch the other cache in this park: Bottle Rocket War.

The cache is located at N 41 03.xxx W 073 34.yyy

The listed coordinates are for the first stage. You must read the sign at the listed coordinates on the North side of the road and use the number on the sign as the last three digits of the North coordinate for the cache location. (i.e. xxx)

Solve the Sudoku puzzle below and use I4, B7, and D5 as the last three digits of the West coordinates for the final location. (i.e. yyy)
