Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the above coordinates. You will need to solve the puzzle below to get the final coordinates

       With all the guardrail caches in the area I decided to make a tribute cache. The final coordinates will lead you to a spot that won't take you too far out of the way from 222. I hid the container as best as I could since guardrails don't have many good spots on them. To sign the log, you will need to bring tweezers and a pen.

Congratulations Penns66 for FTF
