P.O. Box - Virginia Beach Mystery Cache

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The posted coordinates are for the Hilltop Post Office.

The cache is NOT in or near the building.

Field Puzzles can be frustrating, stressful and easy to just ignore.

We hope this one is easy and informative.

HERE WE GO!

Go To The Posted Coordinates

Enter the Post Office

( The Lobby is Not Open 24 / 7 )

When you enter the Post Office you will find multiple walls with post office boxes. A normal group of boxes to many groups of boxes is about 5 feet tall by 2 feet wide.  A wall may have from one group of boxes to many groups of boxes.  

GRID

• Each wall of boxes is considered a separate GRID

• There is only One GRID per wall.

• Exception, if a wall has a door or opening that separates a set of boxes.

   

GRID NUMBER

• The GRID Number is the number of the P.O. Box in the

  Upper Right-hand corner of the Grid.

ROW

• Start at the Upper LEFT Corner of the Grid.

• Count from TOP to BOTTOM.

COLUMN

• Start at the Upper LEFT Corner of the Grid

• Count from LEFT to RIGHT

WARNING

• ROW 1 will probably have more COLUMNS than ROW 9.

• P.O. Boxes at the bottom are usually bigger.

Time to try out what you just learned.

Remember to use the  (Grid:Row:Column) format.
