THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING THERE!
Each of the 26 letters of the English alphabet appears at least once in the solution to this puzzle. Each of the letters is assigned a unique number from 1 to 26. There are no "clues" as there are in a traditional crossword, only the three starter letters in the center of the puzzle. You must correctly fill in the rest of the puzzzle armed with that information. The grid on the bottom is for you to keep track of which letter is assigned to each number.
Once you have completed the puzzle, you will be able to find the cache at
N 33 36.MGP W 111 52.FS
All usual desert cautions apply.
10 DECEMBER 2024 IMPORTANT UPDATE! The final location of this cache has changed. The cache description and the Certitude page have been updated to reflect the new final coordinates. Note that some of the letters in the "answer" just above have been changed but the puzzle solution remains the same.
