Geocache Description:

Quack quack says Donald Duck and he is quacking that the cache is not at the posted coordinates. Also, he says BYOP – bring your own pen.


Before you can look for this cache, you will need to solve a Sudoku puzzle in order to obtain the correct coordinates. Along the left side (rows) and the top (columns) of the puzzle are letters that will be used to identify the corresponding puzzle block by row and column. In that block will be a single digit number. For example, in the puzzle you are given some of the numbers such as CR = 6, FX = 3 and HT = 1. After you complete and solve the Sudoku puzzle, substitute the numbers for the double letters and complete the simple arithmetic (basic adding and subtracting) as indicated below. For example, if CR = 6 and HT = 1 then CR–HT = 5 and CR+HT = 7.

Final coordinates:

N 47 28.(BY+FW) (GR-HV) (HS+FU)
W 122 33.(DV-BZ) (AY-IZ) (AT-IX)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

You get a shot at the Quack Quack Bonus cache (GC4ZC7H) if you find Quack Quack cache. In the Quack Quack cache you will find values for ABC and DEF. Make note of those values and use the values to calculate the correct coordinates for the Quack Quack Bonus cache. See the Quack Quack Bonus cache web page for the details and needed correction to the bonus coordinates.

You will be looking for a medium sized snapware container painted dark green. It has a log book and a couple of trade items. The US dollar coin is for the FTF. Cache is about 45 feet North of the trail. Please tread lightly. Enjoy your visit and enjoy your walk and say hi to Donald Duck if you see him.

Congrats to TrekkingSloth and Boshea for your CO-FTF !!
