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 third of three puzzles of varying difficulty that I have created using barcodes. This puzzle is the most difficult of the three. After you read the barcodes, you may not see at first how you can come up with coordinates from the information that is revealed. But after you ponder this for a while, I feel like you will be able to come up with the solution. 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.
