THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES
The mystery cache is located somewhere along the many trails that run through Polo Road Park. The two trailheads on this section of the trail will lead you close to the final location.
This is a word puzzle cache, similar to a word search type puzzle – but the words are not already neatly lined up for you. The solution is found by locating a letter in each word going down the column to form a hidden word. Use your eyes, fingers, pencils, or whatever computer program will cooperate to “slide” the words horizontally until the letters line up to form words vertically. Only one letter from each word is used in the hidden message. Some letters are underscored as hints to help in solving the words.
In this example the five words in the first column are aligned (under the 's', which is a given letter), to reveal the hidden word.

The words are listed in four columns for convenience, but are actually one long column. To solve the puzzle, the words in each column should slide independently of the other columns.
