Geocache Description:

Everybody loves Sudokus!

I had an idea for a puzzle cache the other day, so I put together a small Lock'n'Lock and dropped it off in a local park. When I got home to put the cache listing together, I discovered that the coordinates didn't work out for the puzzle I had designed! Oh no!

I wasn't able to think of a good replacement puzzle off the top of my head, so I decided to fall back on an old favourite.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within 3km. The actual coordinates can be extracted from this Sudoku puzzle.

The cache contains a letterbox-style stamp for the benefit of those who are into that sort of thing. Please don't take it.

The cache is not on the other side of the fence, so there is no need to leave the publicly-accessible area of the park. Please do not post any spoilers in your log.
