Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! The posted coordinates will lead you to the Homestead Grays Bridge. Do not stop there unless you want to cause a big traffic jam. Depending upon your approach you may need to cross this span to get to the cache.


Penny's "grandpa" always seemed to have a crossword puzzle book handy. Of course, in addition to classic crossword puzzles, the book also contained a series of other puzzle types. This cache is based upon the Skillogram puzzle. Don't be dismayed if you are not familiar with this puzzle type as its concept is relatively straightforward. By copying each square into the empty grid provided, you will produce a beautiful work of art... well, at least you will find the minute decimal components to the North and West coordinates to complete the cache location of:


N 40 24.XXX
W 079 55. XXX

Each numeral should be considered a single digit and "read" accordingly. The difficulty rating is based upon the puzzle solution. The cache find should be easy.... just beware of muggles. If you are not sure of your solution coordinates, just check them first, by clicking on the geochecker.com link appearing just above the PAGA logo.
