The Puzzle

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

This plague has been moved slightly to make access a little easier. It will still be a little buggy in the summer time, but at least you can walk there without jumping across streams. Personally I think the best time to look for it is in the winter time. Good luck!

SPECIAL NOTE: Our personal philosophy is that Puzzles should ADD to the fun of the game, not detract. If you enjoy solving puzzles, great. Have fun. If you want hints, feel free to ask. If you want a step-by-step guide on exactly how to solve this type of puzzle, we'll be happy to give it to you. For that matter, if you don't like puzzles and just want coordinates to go find the thing, just ask. We get joy out of having people find our caches, and we don't care how you get there. Happy caching!
