This is the 5th in a series of new Team GreenWoodTurner puzzles! These puzzles will not be micros in the woods, nor will they simply require you to Google a bunch of useless information. Instead, you will need to grab a pencil and some paper, and use the old noggin! This puzzle is one we encountered during our travels and we felt so satisfied (and relieved) after solving it, that we knew we had to share it with the local geocaching community. Enjoy!!
The coordinates listed on the cache page are not correct, so don't go there! Instead, you must first solve a puzzle, in order to obtain the real coordinates. We've included a coordinate checker so that you can verify your answer. You are looking for a small lock-n-lock container, hidden under some geo-sticks.
We did not see any poison oak in the area (but still be careful), and there are minimal blackberry vines to worry about. Tree cover made it a challenge to get great coordinates, but once you've solved the puzzle, you will receive a very detailed hint for finding the cache.
RULES FOR THIS VARIATION OF SUDOKU
Fill the rings with the numbers from 1 to 12 so that no number is repeated in any of the six rings, any of the six shaded double-wedges, or any of the pairs of opposite wedges.
Once you've solved the puzzle, use the following information to calculate the coordinates for the cache:
N 44 3F.EG(A+H)
W 123 1(D+E).(G-A)(C-D)B
