Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache.  The cache is not at the listed coodinates.  You must solve the puzzle to get the final coordinates.  Good luck and cache on! Please be careful. Poison Ivy has been reported to be in the area.

Geocaching in Manhattan, as many things about Manhattan is a unique experience.  There are a fair share of Traditional caches, but there is also a cadre of puzzlers taking Manhattan caching to a whole new level.  Cachers may be in one of 2 camps: those that enjoy the puzzle and those that don't, but for those that enjoy the challenge, there is plenty to enjoy about caching in the city.  The key to solving puzzles is patience.  Sometimes if you feel like you are up against the wall you have to take a step back from it and come back to it another time.  You may rail against the puzzles and the puzzle makers and you may be on the fence as to whether or not you want to take on a new puzzle.  In the end, I find the journey to be as fun as the find.  I hope you feel that way about this cache as well.

The area is a high traffic area so please use stealth and most importantly, have fun!

The puzzle:
