Geocache Description:

This is an urban cache that begins with an easy puzzle that will provide you with the coordinates to GZ.

This is a two part cache. The given cordinates are a drive-by puzzle that will lead you to the actual location of the cache. The given cordinates do not have an altitude, but you will only be able
to solve the puzzle from under the bridge.

Also note that it is NOT SAFE TO PARK at the given coordinates. There is definitely room to pull over and stop for a minute, but do not leave your car here while pursuing part 2.

Once you've navigated to part 1, take a look across the river at the large wall of graffiti under the overpass. If you have binoculars, it would be wise to bring them.

One of my favorite pieces of graffiti is on this wall. It's a drawing of a giraffe. The giraffe's neck is used to make a three digit number. Call this number X.

The cache is hidden in the area of 40.412701, -74.3(X + 222)27

As noted above, do not leave your car at part 1 when looking for part 2.

The cache is an ammo container that contains some toys, a magazine, a pencil, a large logbook, and some other goodies.

This is my first plant! If you have any issues, please contact me personally. Happy caching!
