Geocache Description:


NOTE: The cache IS NOT located at the above coordinates!


This cache is part of my second series of five puzzle caches, all hidden in the Great Hills area. The previous series was published in September of 2010. Those puzzles were mainly logic and number related puzzles, while the puzzles in the new series are all word puzzles, except for the bonus. As before, when you solve and find each of these caches, you will be given some clues that you need to record, which will be needed to solve a sixth bonus puzzle cache.

As you move through the series, the puzzles get more difficult, at least in theory, although that may vary based on experience and aptitude with certain puzzle types. Also, the terrain in which they are hidden tends to increase in difficulty.

This is the final bonus puzzle in the Great Hills Puzzle Series II.

To solve this puzzle, you will need to first solve the other puzzles in this series, and find the clues located in the cache for each puzzle. The caches in this series are:

  1. Great Hills Puzzle Series II No. 1: Jumble (GC847RK)
  2. Great Hills Puz. Series II #2: Reverse Word Search (GC847TB)
  3. Great Hills Puzzle Series II No. 3: Txtpert (GC84B0D)
  4. Great Hills Puzzle Series II No. 4 Code-Cracker (GC84B0Z)
  5. Great Hills Puzzle Series II No. 5: Acrostic (GC84CCW)

This bonus puzzle is a Numberlink. The rules of Numberlink are: Connect each pair of numbers with a continuous line that only passes vertically or horizontally between squares. Lines cannot pass through the same square twice, and no two lines can cross each other or occupy the same square. All squares will be be occupied by a line when the correct solution is found.

The clues from the Great Hills Puzzle series will tell you which number is assigned to each attribute symbol. Without all of the clues, you will not have the locations of the number pairs that you will need to find the single correct solution to the puzzle.

A blank numberlink diagram for solving is provided as an image here.

Final Coordinates: N 30° 2(C4-A1).(H3-K11)(J2-G8)(C8) W 097° 4(I6-D10).(F7-E5)(G4)(D10+B3)
