Solve the puzzle, find the cache:
The cache is at: N39 AB.CDE W096 FG.HIJ, where
A =1 Across, B= 6 Across, C =3 Across , D = 8 Across, E = 2 Down, F = 3 Across, G =5 Down , H = 4 Down, I = 3 Down, J = 5 Down
The cache is placed with Corps of Engineers and Kansas Dept. of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism permit at approximately 1130 feet. A fee is required to enter the park. The road is open to foot traffic, even if the gate is seasonally closed. A very obvious parking spot is near the gate and is included. A knowledge of local trails may be helpful. And if you really need to, you can check your answer on GeoChecker.com.
