Geocache Description:

A camo'd container is your target. To reach this point, however, you must solve a small puzzle.

The Knight's Tour is a puzzle almost as old as chess itself. The problem is very simple, the knight begins at the position shown, then after 63 moves has traversed the entire chess board, landing on every square once and only once. Since, starting from the position shown, there are two possible solutions (which are isometric or mirror images along a 45º diagonal), the correct isomer is shown by the first three characters of the solution.

The solution, of course, takes the form N dd mm.mmm W ddd mm.mmm.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
