Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. 

This cache has two stages.

You will find nearby parking.

Be careful crossing the street.

Both stages are micro's.

The final contains logsheet only so BYOP.

 

Solve the crossword puzzle below. Once completed, take the letters within the red circles, in order as you read your answers, left to right / top to bottom, and enter them into the certitude checker. The certitude checker will give you the coordinates for stage 1 (NOT THE FINAL). Once at stage 1, find the micro which will give you a hint as to where the final is.

 

There is no logsheet to sign at stage 1, and please DO NOT leave any logsheets behind. Stage 1 will give you a hint for the final, and only at the final is where you'll sign your name.

 

For 8 DOWN - this may be more helpful - a monetary sub unit of the former South Vietnam.

 

For 6 DOWN - this may be more helpful - type of sugar "(plural)".

 

 

 

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
