Since we started geocaching almost 3 yrs ago, it's given us a great opportunity to be outdoors together as a family. Geocaching has taken us on many adventures exploring massive structures with deep foundations. Our urban explorations have had us pounding the pavement hoping to maintain a streak. We searched high and low for those nanos set into the top of an irregular mass of concrete or a camo'd lock and lock driven into the ground. Once we found a cache on an overpass that was made of an aluminum alloy rod in sleeve. However, the best geocaches we've found, are those that are not easy to find. A recent trip to PA, had us searching in a boulder set into the top of a round concrete monument. We've explored nature and visited many quaint parks and preserves. Poison Ivy, ticks, thorn bushes, snakes - we've seen it all.
As we've accumulated more cache finds, we've also begun to hide some caches as well. Each new outing we find ourselves looking in a rock ledge for footings/foundation walls of small/medium structures to place a new hide. One never knows where the next great cache will be - a tube in a piece of wood hidden under a fallen tree, a bottle placed in a depression in a boulder or a devious bottle cap imbedded in the ground.
You never quite see otherwise ordinary things the same way once you've discovered geocaching. I guess that's what we enjoy most.
When solving the puzzle you may ignore all zeroes EXCEPT in the North Degrees.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
