NOTE: The cache IS NOT located at the posted coordinates!
I recently came across some artistic barcodes. In addition to their normal purpose of allowing products to be scanned for pricing and other information, these were works of art that made statements about the companies and their products. I was impressed by the creativity of these designs, and thought that it might be fun to make up some geocaching puzzles that used some of these barcodes.
This is the second of three puzzles of varying difficulty that I have created using barcodes. This puzzle is a bit more difficult than #1. It will requires that you read the barcodes, and then try to discover a brand new way to come up with coordinates. (Note: If you are having trouble reading any of the bar codes, right click on the image and select "view image". This will allow you to see a larger, higher resolution version. Or, you can print out the image at full size.) In this puzzle you are solving for N 30° XX.XXX W 097° YY.YYY.
All three of these puzzles are hidden in one of my favorite Austin greenbelts. The hiking is not difficult, but two of the three require tree climbs, which accounts for their higher terrain ratings.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
