Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates

 People who cache in the Sudbury area are not really twisted, but I have given some of them a new twist.


TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE:

STEP ONE:

Do the word search, finding the names of the geocachers listed below. Each name may be twisted, and each name forms 1 continous line. You may not cross over a line within the name. No letter in the puzzle may be used more than once in one name. eg. In finding "RZettler" 2 separate “R’s” and 2 separate “E’s” are to be used. I have removed the numbers and symbols from the names.

STEP TWO:

Identify all the letters that were NOT used to solve the puzzle.

STEP THREE:

Starting at the top row, and proceeding across each row, write the unused letters down in a straight line.

STEP FOUR:

Find the digital root for each letter. Place these numbers in order, fill in the blanks and do the calculations, to find the coordinates.
