Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above coordinates. If you have never solved a SUDOKU puzzle before, DON'T start here. This puzzle is rated very hard and we have added a twist to make it more difficult.

As you can see by the puzzle below, letters have been placed on the sudoku grid instead of numbers. Your first objective is to figure out which number is represented by the given letter. For those of you who are members of Mensa, I have given you a number at F8, since that's all you will need. When you believe you have figured out the starting numbers on the grid, the check sum of all the numbers is 141.

The final location can be found by plugging in the completed numbers in the order shown below the grid.

The cache is a quart size plastic camouflaged container located somewhere in Cliff Cave Park. The closest parking is the new lot located between the river and the railroad tracks.

For the First To Find there is a $10.00 gift certificate to Cracker Barrel. For the next 5 people, there are 5 gold Thomas Jefferson dollar coins, 1 for each of you.


Please let us know in your logs if the difficulty rating is correct or should be changed. Good luck!
