Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE PUZZLE TO GET THE COORDINATES.

This is the third in a series of caches called “How Do You Do A Sudoku?” Sudoku puzzles come in all different difficulties. This particular puzzle is classified as "EASY" and is an excellent introduction to Sudoku puzzles.

One of the many things I enjoy about caching when I travel is seeing some new and fun caches placed by other cachers. I am a big fan of puzzle caches and recently ran across a series of caches that combined geocaching with Sudoku puzzles. If you are new to Sudoku puzzles, you need to fill in the grid so that every column, every row and every 3x3 box contain the digits 1 to 9. If you've never done a Sudoku Puzzle you'll want to Google "How to do a Sudoku puzzle" for instructions on how to get started.

Coordinates listed above are to a nearby parking lot that you can use when searching for the cache. Location of cache is approximately a 2.5 mile roundtrip walk on paved bike trail from suggested parking. This is not the only way to access this cache but allows for a nice walk while hunting.

In order to find this cache, solve the Sudoku puzzle, and insert the appropriate numbers into the coordinates below. You can print a copy of the puzzle by going to image gallery and clicking on Puzzle Number #3.



Cache location: N(E7)(C9)(A5)(D6).(F6)(E3)(A3) W0(I5)(H7)(D4)(E1).(F4)(H3)(A2)

This cache is a larger than normal camoed pill bottle with a log and pencil and is located a few feet off the MCT bike trail. May want to bring personal writing tool just in case pencil is gone.

IMPORTANT: Located on each cache are 3 additional clues. You should copy these clues down because they will lead you to “How Do You Do A Sudoku? #5” which will be much easier to find with clues from caches #1 - #4 in the series. You can print out a blank puzzle to input the hints from each cache by going to gallery and clicking on blank Sudoku puzzle.

This series of 5 caches is my first attempt at hiding caches. Feedback is welcome. My main goal when hiding geocaches is to encourage all participants in the game to get up, get out, get moving, get connected with family and friends, and get engaged physically and mentally with life. I hope I accomplish my goal.

Remember - Have Fun!

CONGRATULATIONS AWANDERER - FTF
