TechnoNut_Legacy: This one needs to go to the big black bit bucket.
Although on public land, the nearby landowner thinks it is his land.

I will recreate this cache in a new spot sometime in the future.

Geocache Description:

A fun puzzle cache for the whole family.

The cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates!


 


Jigsaws have been firm family favourites for many years.  Red=A=ASCII

A jigsaw puzzle is a tiling puzzle that requires the assembly of numerous small, often oddly shaped, interlocking and tessellating pieces. Each piece usually has a small part of a picture on it; when complete, a jigsaw puzzle produces a complete picture. In some cases more advanced types have appeared on the market, such as spherical jigsaws and puzzles showing optical illusions.

Jigsaw puzzles were originally created by painting a picture on a flat, rectangular piece of wood, and then cutting that picture into small pieces with a jigsaw, hence the name. John Spilsbury, a London mapmaker and engraver, is credited with commercializing jigsaw puzzles around 1760. Jigsaw puzzles have since come to be made primarily on cardboard.

They are available in sizes from 12 pieces right up to puzzles containing many thousands of pieces.  Blue=H=Hexadecimal

Themes range from landscape, to still life, sports, and whatever the mind can conceive.  Magenta=O=Octal

Enjoy doing this puzzle to find the final co-ordinates.  A parking co-ordinate is given with the final solution.  Green=B=Binary
