Geocache Description:

**NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES**

Note to those new to Geocaching Puzzles: Geocaching Puzzles require you to determine the cache's coordinates somehow by decoding, finding, calculating, etc. the numbers using the information on the cache page. Check out Puzzle Solving 101 by Salsman, but it won't help here :)




This puzzle was inspired by Demonic Digital Display by ArcherDragoon. So many times, working on puzzles spawns ideas for new puzzles. So, thank (or blame) Archer for this one




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

In order to keep everyone's hair on their head, I'll say this about the puzzle:

  • The background is only that...something to jazz up the page.
  • Concentrate your efforts on the digital display above.
  • The gray segments could have been eliminated; they're simply segments that are not lit up.
  • The cache contents, including trckables are NOT hints.

At GZ, the cache is hidden quite well. Look for a nice lined-up pile of flat rocks. This is the place you should start working your way down. Be sure to take note of how everything is in place, so you can get it all back exactly as you found it.

Seasonal Note: This cache isn't very winter friendly, but if you do seek it when the snow covers the earth, be sure you get everything back in position underneath the snow.

Original Contents:

Remember: 'Trade even' or 'trade up' to keep it fun for everyone, but if you see something you'd really like, go ahead and take it and pay the sport back later.

GOOD LUCK!
