Geocache Description:

Located near the Bear Creek outdoor pool.

This pool was built in 1954. Obviously it's been upgraded since then. The name of the cache is because of a sign I once read: "Welcome to our Ool. Notice there is no "P" in it. Please keep it that way."

The cache is made to blend into its environment. FTF gets a certificate :)

This is a modified Sudoku puzzle. Each box of 9 squares and each horizontal and vertical row/column needs to have only one of each letter in the words "BEAR CREEK POOL." Use only the nine different letters "B-E-A-R-C-K-P-O-L." Once you've solved the puzzle, match the numbers 1 through 9 to the uppermost row of letters. This is the code you will use to decypher the true coordinates. NOTE: The 0 is a zero, not an "O" (oh).
