Geocache Description:


A field puzzle. We all love 'em! The posted coordinates will lead you to a physical cache that contains a puzzle you need to complete in the field. Once you complete the puzzle, you will have the coordinates to the final. You won't need a flat surface but I would request you keep the pieces out of the rain and bring an umbrella or something to keep the pieces dry if you choose to do this in the rain. I am borrowing the general idea for this puzzle from a stage of charliewhiskey's Dark Spirits and Mental Jiu Jitsu Challenge Cache (GC1YJBQ) though I modified it a bit. Enjoy.

 

I included a spoiler pic for there WP@1 is located due to the coordinate bounce I encountered. Plus I clarified the hint as well.

 

$2 for first finder!
