Geocache Description:


 

The posted coordinates will not take you to the cache. You must solve the puzzle to obtain the final coordinates.

This is the third puzzle that was used in the What's so Puzzling about Geocaching event (GC80QTM) on Dec. 31st in Mission, TX. When solving the puzzles in this series, you will need the following information for certitude: A numeric digit, a color word and three more numeric digits. If there is more than one color word within the puzzle, use the first color and ignore the others.

Treasure Maps are all about location, location, location…but they’re also known to have a booby trap or two along the way. You may find that you need a treasure map guide to help you communicate with the natives.

Use stealth as this area may have high muggle traffic occassionally. Bring your own pen or pencil to sign the log.
