Welcome to the Huron-Clinton Metroparks 2007 Geocaching Adventure. This year’s adventure has taken on the form of a Sudoku puzzle. Traditional caches or multi-staged caches have been placed in eleven of the thirteen Metroparks. Find the caches to acquire the numbers needed to complete and solve this Sudoku puzzle. Look for the answers / numbers attached to the cover of each cache.
Brochures can be found in all of the Metroparks caches, park offices, nature centers and can be downloaded from the metroparks.com web site.
Two of the caches contain “Bonus Numbers”. These numbers are not needed but will make the puzzle a little easier for those of you that need a little extra help with this type of puzzle.
There is really only one rule to Sudoku puzzles: Fill in the grid so that every Row, every Column, and every 3 x 3 Box contains the digits 1 through 9 with no duplicate numbers.
We hope you take a look at the information placed in each of the caches about the many natural features that can be found at the Metroparks. Enjoy this new twist to this year’s adventure.

Participants completing this year’s adventure can turn in a completed Sudoku puzzle and will be entered into a drawing for one of twenty 2008 Metropark Vehicle Permits. Winners will receive a permit in early January 2008. Completed puzzles and contact information shall be turned in to any of our park offices by November 30, 2007. Caches for this year’s game will be pulled in early December 2007.
