Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed ARE NOT the coordinates of the cache, but it is close to a good place to park while looking for it. This is meant to present a little more of a challenge. It's not too tough if you are good with basic puzzles. Bring a pen and water. You will get some exercise here.

The cache is located at N 35 0X.XXX W 106 XX.XXX. You must solve a Sudoku puzzle to get the missing digits. The point of Sudoku is to fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. Each number can appear in each row, column and 3x3 box only once.

Once you have solved the puzzle use the numbers from the green boxes for the latitude and the blue boxes for the longitude. The order you will place them in will be the same as you read, left to right then down.

IMPORTANT!! If a digit in a colored box is a 1, use a 0 in it's place in your coordinate. There are no zero's in Sudoku.

Congratulations to Cyclegreen for being the first to find this cache. She narrowly beat Manzano Wolfe. It sounds like they had a good time competing for it.

Good luck!
