Geocache Description:

A short trip around Edisto Island

Don’t bother going to the posted co-ordinates. There is nothing there to help you. And unless you have a boat---wouldn’t recommend trying to get there!!!!

You must solve the following Sudoku puzzle to find the co-ordinates for the two stages of this multi/puzzle cache that will lead you to the final cache site. (Shown with and without the letters for the stage 1 and 2 co-ordinates. You can also click on the Gallery links below the Map options to get the puzzle and print it with or without the co-ordinate letters.

You do not have to go on private property at any of the cache locations. You must use the Public Beach access at Stage 2 to go around the gated community. The beach front is totally public. Park in the designated area on right side of road just before the gated community. If you have handicapped tags there is parking on the left side where the Beach access is located. At the final stage, park across the road from the cache area. Do not park in the bike lane.


Stage One: Lake side

N 32 AB. CDE

W 080 FG.HIJ

Checksum: Add A through J should =50

Now that you figured it out--FORGET ABOUT IT--You do not need to go to this location---only the stage 2 location!!


Stage Two: Big bay Creek/ St. Helena Sound--the co-ordinates for the final are at this location.

N 32 KL.MNP (**No O)

W 080 Q0.RST (**That is a zero after the Q)

Checksum: Add K through T should =55


Final: The Jungle doesn’t end Here!!!!

The actual cache is a larger sized ammo can located in a wooded area along a marsh. NOTE added 11/02/07: I have relocated the cache closer to a more protected area.

The cache also contains some other good stuff so please trade even. There is some kid stuff but recommend taking it to them. Don’t suggest having young children in this area. It’s pretty “jungley” here. You may have to do some light bushwhacking into this area.

As a reminder: We do have poisonous snakes here on the island.

Bring the Bug spray in warmer weather. There are some DEET wipes as part of the original stock.
