Geocache Description:


About the location:
You are in the area that gave the city it's name. If you look one way, you can see the Sixth Street Bridge, an historic bridge crossing the Grand River. You can also see a great view of the Downtown area from this spot.
Across the river, you will see the area where the canal used to bypass the rapids, a necessary detour for steamboats traveling up- and downriver. You also will see several old brick buildings, formerly housing factories that helped make Grand Rapids a manufacturing center and gave the community a nickname: Furniture City.
Today, the factories are gone. They're now condos and apartments. The canal is gone. The filled in area is now the Canal Street Park. The river is still there, but it's much different than what once was.

About the cache:
The actual cache difficulty (after puzzles!) is about 2.0.
The cache is a small Lock n Lock, hidden in a typical way. Please return the cache exactly as you found it.

What's the Challenge?
Numbers. We are fascinated by them. We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers. One hundred always seems to be a significant number that gives us a sense of accomplishment.
Mystery caches aren't always puzzles. Occasionally, they have advanced logging requirements. Sometimes, though, they're pretty tough. There's a love/hate relationship with them - you either love them, or you hate them.
To log this cache, you must find one hundred mystery caches. Demonstrate this any way you wish - a bookmark list, a screenshot of your profile, or reference your profile.

Cache is not at the listed coordinates.

To find the cache location, solve the following puzzle. If you can't solve it, call whoever gave you all those coordinates for the puzzles you've already found.
