Geocache Description:

What started out as one idea ended up as quite another: a mini-series of Puzzle caches! This is number 3. If your brain can take the strain, all three may be found in one visit. Needless to say, the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, and NOR is the parking (unless you are a bus driver). You may be able to park somewhere near the Parking Waypoint. Please don't let one last puzzle hold you back from the series; let me know and I'll happily drop you an extra hint ... probably ;-) Enjoy!

There are two ways to find this cache. The recommended way is to solve this classic cipher which gives the exact coordinates. The alternative is to find the other two Puzzle Box caches, see where they take you, then use a cacher’s intuition to locate Lisa. The cache is not far from Lisa’s spot and is probably findable, although to discover exactly how far away to look, you would have to solve the cipher of course! Whichever approach you take, you will need wellies for the retrieval. Adults may well get muddy, but children definitely will!
