Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates- you have to solve the puzzle below to solve the coordinates for the container.

Look at those Puss-n-Boots eyes!Almost everyone is afraid of spiders. Though all spiders have venomous fangs, here in Alberta we are fortunate that almost none of our resident spiders are truly dangerous to us. Most spiders are beneficial to gardens because they eat garden pests, not plants. Often while sitting on my deck, a little striped jumping spider will hop by. I call him Stan, though I can't be sure it is the same spider every time. It's fun to watch him pounce from board to board along my deck.

Here is a picture of Stan on my arm last week:
Stan is a Zebra Jumper, and is harmless to humans.
This species is widespread across North America, Britain and Europe. Stan and his friends have excellent vision for hunting, and they eat other spiders and insects, including mosquitos!
Their jumping speed is approximately 0.64–0.79 m/s, or 2.3-2.8kph.

Good news for those that still would like to be able to outrun them.

Now onto the puzzle*:



*When I was deciding what kind of puzzle to create, I was inspired by 2Sunbeams' A Buggy Puzzle

Congrats to Math=42 for bring the first zebra spidey to jump on the cache!
