Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates listed, but that's a great place to park.


I'm a big fan of wordplay. My favorite puzzle is a good cryptic crossword. If yours is too, then you're in luck! Solve the cryptic in the attached picture and use the solution to find the cache.

The cache is located at North 1-A 26-A.20-A 13-A 11-A 24-A.12-D. It is in a decon can. There are quite a few prickly plants after you leave the trail, so please wear long pants. The terrain has been upped by a half-star because of the pricklies.
