Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates.
You can try to go there but you may get wet.

Introduction: I have always enjoyed doing puzzles. As a kid it was jigsaw puzzles, today I enjoy the Sunday crosswords. Since I began geocaching I have come across all types of puzzle caches. Some have been pretty simple, others really tough. Some like The Illinois Rail Splitter and Check & Mate have kept me up at night trying to solve. But with some persistence and stubborness, I was able to solve them. So here is my first attempt at a puzzle cache. It shouldn't be too difficult, but it may make you think a little.

The Puzzle:

7, 32, 11, 10, 31, 21, 26, 10, 24, 13, 11, 10, 1, 2, 14, 15,
25, 1, 30, 1, 12, 15, 29, 3, 10, 32, 14, 11, 18, 25, 20, 15, 6,
13, 1, 14, 32, 5, 10, 21, 24, 23, 3, 13, 13, 6, 13, 24, 12, 24,
21, 1, 21, 3, 23, 24, 13, 1, 30, 1, 12, 11, 14, 22, 18, 10, 1, 3,
24, 13, 20, 32, 6, 13, 1, 1, 2, 25, 24, 3, 21, 6, 16, 14, 6, 23, 3

The Cache: The cache is a 5" x 7" x 2.5" lock and lock type container. From the parking the easiest route is to head north a ways then follow the trail around the wet area and up the hill to the east. The cache is located just a few feet off the trail. Be sure to walk the trail past the cache for a nice view. For the parking coordinates SUBTRACT .062 from the north and ADD .229 to the west of the final coordinates.
