This cache is not at the posted coordinates,
but it is within a mile. Do not attempt to go to the posted
coordinates, you'll most likely die. Solve the puzzle on the cache
page to determine the coordinates of the cache.
"The information needed to solve the puzzle must be available to
the general caching community and the puzzle should be solvable

I've had this idea for a puzzle cache for a while, and wanted to
make it my first puzzle. The puzzle can be as simple as you make
it. I suspect some will solve the puzzle fairly quickly, and for
others it will take ages.
Many puzzles have "Aha!" moments. Some puzzles have "Aha!"
moments as to when you figure out what the puzzle actually is. In
this case, those two moments are the same moment. (I could have
made this puzzle a LOT harder.) But I chose not to. The puzzle is
one that everyone can solve, regardless of whether or not you're in
the ACA, or in High School.
To go along with this puzzle, I of course needed to hide a
cache. But when I hide a cache, the hide is often so clever that I
just make it a Traditional hide so as to have as many people as
possible look for it! This cache is no exception. It is well
hidden, and not just another "You solved my puzzle, so the cache is
an easy find under a lamppost."
The difficulty of this cache is based on the puzzle AND the
hide. The cache is visible from the north, but only obtainable from
the south.
One last thing. I could not think of a name for this cache. In
your log, suggest what you think I should name it! (But don't
forget to put some substance into your log too!)
