Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Paint by number... actually it's color by letter to find the final coordinates for this hide.

I got the idea for this puzzle from the back of a cereal box. Have your kids color by letter and if they do it right, you should have the coordinates for this cache. If they don't do it right, you will have a new piece of artwork to hang on your refrigerator and you might have to get out your own set of crayons to solve the puzzle.


Update 5-15-17 Too many containers at the final have gone missing. I am moving the container to a (hopefully) more secure location. I can't redraw the picture. I don't have the spare time I had when I created this puzzle originally. Once you have the green light from geochecker, add 30 to the North coordinates and subtract 20 from the west coordinates to find the final.
