The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates.
It has been brought to my attention that some cachers in the region, are no longer seeking my caches. The only possible explanation for this "boycott", is because my puzzles may be too hard for some people to solve.
In order to allow all cachers to find my caches, I have developed a puzzle cache that everybody should be able to solve and enjoy. This will prove to be a very satisfying puzzle, and once you solve it, you will have a feeling
of accomplishment in knowing that you have figured out one of my puzzles.
