Geocache Description:


CACHE WAS REPLACED IN A NEW SPOT.
IF YOU SOLVED BEFORE 8/15/21, YOUR SOLUTION IS NO LONGER THE HIDING SPOT.

Coordinates are for the NY State Department of Motor Vehicles. A black hole in time that can steal your soul. But that's not where the cache is.

Read everything before you work on the puzzle.

Last year a bunch of us went to GeoWoodstock. I was amazed by the many people that came from all over the USA. We met geocachers from many Northern states & Western states, and as I walked around the parking lot, I saw many cars had custom license plates, some with clever phrases and others with Geocaching names from A-to-Z. Besides spending time at the fairgrounds of the event, we of course found some caches in the area, starting with some really old ones. It was a great trip, I hope to go to more GeoWoodstocks!

Maybe I didn’t see these particular license plates, but solve the picture puzzle below to find the coordinates for this cache. There's no order to these plates to start with. You're looking for ten digits:

N 40° NN.NNN W 073° WW.WWW

For any multi-digit numbers you figure out, just use the last digit.


Thanks to TSandCS for Beta testing the puzzle!
