This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:

This town really needs a cache so here it is!

This is a puzzle cache! The coordinates listed will not take you to the actual cache! Instead they take you to the town sign of Bee Branch (pop. 63)! In this tiny community is where you will find the cache located! My parents both grew up in this area and my grandmother still lives out this way! I named the cache after a grocery store that was first started by my grandfather in the early 50's! Unfortunately, this store ceases to exist anymore! So its' name will live on thru this cache! In order to get the coordinates for to the cache, you will need to solve a sudoku puzzle!

Sudoku doesn't require any special math skills or calculations. It is a game of logic -- all that's needed is brains and concentration.

There is really only one rule to Sudoku: Fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed. Those numbers cannot be changed. Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above.

I have attached the puzzle to this listing as a .jpg file. Using this puzzle and the answers to the colored squares you will be able to come up with the final coordinates!

The final coordinates will be:

N 35° 27.(Green)(Red)(Yellow)
W 092° 23.(Blue)(0)(Pink)

The difficulty rating is mostly because of the puzzle. If you get the puzzle solved the cache itself shouldn't be hard to find. Feel free to e-mail me your coordinates before heading out if you'd like to verify that they're correct.

Congrats to B62GTAWK for the FTF!
