Valley Sudoku Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Vertighost: Cache owner (CO) has not responded and, as there's been no cache to find for for an extended period of time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. In general, caches that have been archived due to maintenance issues or lack of cache owner communication are not eligible to be unarchived.

Geocache Description:


I really enjoy solving Sudoku puzzles on my free time. Almost as much as geocaching! What if I could do both at the same time?

And as a result we present to you what I believe is the first Sudoku cache in the Rio Grande Valley. To solve this puzzle cache you must first solve the Sudoku puzzle and then look in the rows and columns for what I hope are the obvious coordinates in Decimal Degrees.

Once you are at the coordinates given in the answer, you will find the cache at 9’07” from the location bearing 072°20'19".

Good luck!

Quick Update:

Due to popular demand here are some additional tips!

This cache may also help you learn a bit more about how coordinates work. Generally speaking there are three popular ways of showing or formatting a coordinate:

  • Decimal degrees (DegDec)
  • Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS)
  • Degree Minutes (MinDec)


For example, this caches starting point is N 26° 11.087, W 098° 12.941. This is the Degree Minutes format. This same coordinate could be given as 26.18478, -98.21568 in the Decimal degree format or N 26° 11' 05.2008", W 98° 12' 56.4588" in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. Remember, the answer in the Sudoku is in Decimal Degrees. To convert this from decimal degrees to the Degree Minutes format try Geocaching conversion tool at:
