WMDWBSS #6: Bois-Brule Puzzle Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Finn: No bites on this one so shutting it down. Was never comfortable with the 100 m off the trail, knowing the park doesn’t appreciate people straying too far…. It had a great run.

Geocache Description:

Part of the What Mark Does When Beth Shops Scrapbooking in Victoria Park, Truro.

The basis of this series is to show what Mark does when he gets dragged into the various craft stores all over Nova Scotia and New Brunswick looking at scrapbooking supplies. You would be amazed how many cache containers and camo ideas you can come up with in the store!

The coords above will take you to an Acadien Heritage Sign. The actual cache is ~1km away (as the crow flies). Happy Hiking!

***Added April 10, 2008***
After numerous emails and personal confessions see the below for an email I sent to a cacher recently. Hope this helps for those who think they almost have this solved!

When I first saw this type of puzzle I tried to stare at it and hopefully the numbers would jump out, but all I got was a headache. Then I thought about where I had seen something similar before (turns out we see them everyday without realizing), and then my massive Google search began. After I figured out what this little square was I tried to find a decoder/encoder program, and did (without having to download everything).
I think if I said much else it would give away the secret. But I hope this steers you in the right direction. Once you've figured it out you can use geochecker, although I think it will be very clear, the coords.
