One of several puzzle caches meant for, but certainly not limited to students at Harney Middle School.
Just the name sounds interesting. Infarction, to me, sounds like a swear word, or at least one not suitable for use in dignified company, or perhaps how your mom might call to you when she wants you to know you’re in trouble. For example, instead of using your middle name, she might say, “You little infarction! Get your heiny up to that table and finish your peas!” It actually means an area of the heart that is dying or dead, having been deprived of its blood supply because of an obstruction by embolism or thrombosis. In short, it’s an heart attack. A little heart knowledge would do us all some good, as would a little exercise. Perhaps this cache can accomplish both. My motto: caching makes the heart grow stronger.
Beware of desert critters including the human variety, and students should make this attempt only in groups or with an adult, and certainly with parental/guardian permission. Bring water. The coordinates given are not the location of the puzzle, rather, a good place to park. With an HC vehicle, you might be able to squeeze through the barriers at the end of the North Access road and drive close to the puzzle, but I’m not sure it’s legal. You could always walk - it’s good for the heart.
Match the lettered words or numbers with the numbered phrases to reveal the cache’s coordinates.
