Geocache Description:

Welcome to another puzzle cache. The coordinates listed will not take you to the actual cache. Instead they take you to a parking area at Reservoir Park with a playground nearby. In order to get the coordinates to the cache, you will need to solve a Kakuro puzzle.

If you've never done a Kakuro puzzle, the basic gist is that the columns need to add up to the number above or below the column, and the rows need to add up to the number to the left or to the right of the row. You can only use numbers 1 through 9, and you can't repeat numbers. There is one unique solution, and no guessing is needed. For a how-to guide, go to (visit link)

I have attached the puzzle to this listing as a .jpg file. The final coordinates will be:

N 34° 46.A0B
W 092° 22.CDE

The difficulty rating is mostly because of the puzzle. If you get the puzzle solved and use the hint provided, the cache itself shouldn't be hard to find. Feel free to e-mail me your coordinates before heading out if you'd like to verify that they're correct.

Original contents include mostly toys from the dollar store. You are looking for an ammo can. The park closes every night at 10:00. Happy caching!

Congrats to jcblough on the FTF!!!
