TESL OG (RYUO AMTE) STEL OG! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Allen Cachers: This past Monday, Okemos unveiled its new Wolves mascot and logo (see Lansing State Journal story dated 3/16/2022 for more info). We thought about updating the puzzle, but ultimately decided that it was time to archive this cache. The cache container has been removed.

Thanks to everyone who solved this puzzle and found this cache!

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT located at the posted cache coordinates. However, the posted coordinates are a good place to enter the Sanford Natural Area on the MSU Campus.


To find the cache within the Sanford Natural Area, you will need to solve the puzzle below:

puzzle image

Once you have the squares all filled, you will need to take the letters in the 20 gray squares, convert them to numbers (A=1, B=2 ... Z=26) and sum them.

X = sum of the gray squares

The cache can then be found at:

N 42° 43.NNN
W 084° 28.WWW

where NNN = 834 - X and WWW = 228 - X

The cache is a clear snap lock container hidden in a typical way.

Congrats to Pianodan on being First to Find!
