Quadtree Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

turuthok: It's a tough decision, but it's time to archive this puzzle cache. Before anything, I'd like to say a big thanks to the property owners who let me even placed this cache there. I know it's a sacrifice they made ...

I had wish to move this cache somewhere else, but unfortunately, there's no nearby location which satisfies the theme.

So, this is it!

Solvers can still try as I have a certitude for it. And once again, there's a billrow puzzle mentioned in the cache page which I believe is still active and is using very similar technique ...

Thanks!!

Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates


The image represented by the above Quadtree should give you (hopefully) a clue regarding the cache location. It is my approach to show you a 2D snapshot view from above, the block of black region is supposed to be a portion of a street ... Look for a black dot in the image to get the relative position of the hide (it's just next to the sidewalk) ...

Note: The site is in close proximity of houses in a small neighborhood, ... please use extreme stealth ... Once the puzzle solution and its location are solved, this should hopefully be a QEF as there's really only one possible place to scour. I did talk to the lady owner of the closest property and she gave the blessings for this cache. Thank you!!!

Near GZ, there's a lamppost with a 5-digit number written on it. Enter the 5-digit number into the certitude below:


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


Congrats to Beege49 and crosspa for being FTF
