Geocache Description:

This is the third in a series of maze/logic puzzles.

Congratulations to denjoa for their FTF!

From the starting point in the top row, find the shortest path through the diagram to the final square marked with a bull's eye. An arrow in a square means that you must go in that direction. A star in a square means that you can move horizontally or vertically but not along a diagonal. In blank squares, you may not change direction. It is not necessary to pass through all of the squares.

The box for each arrow or star also contains a number. The numbers in the squares are NOT part of solving the maze. They are used for determining the coordinates of the cache container. As in Amazed 2, each time you change direction, record the number in the square where you turned. There are no numbers in the blank squares as you cannot turn.

From the starting point, you may move left or down until you reach a star or an arrow. If you are changing direction, record the number, and move to the next square in the new direction. Again, record the number if you are changing direction. Repeat this process until you reach the bull's eye in the right column. By the time you reach the end, you will have a list of 9 digits.

Remember that you are finding the shortest route and you are only recording the number for changes in direction.

The coordinates for the cache are in the form:

N 44° ___ ___ .___ ___ ___ W 078° 4 ___ . ___ ___ ___

The blanks in the coordinates, are filled in order from your number list.
