This is a milestone hide for me, #600, and so I created a puzzle that's deeply personal. You won't find the cache at the posted coordinates; you'll need to solve the puzzle. Enjoy!

In February 2022, I did an amazing cache in New Orleans, GCMX6A. Big shout-out to Cade Roux for that awesome cache--it's one of my all-time favorites. I thought that one day I too should build a love letter to my neighborhood just as Cade Roux did. I have taken many elements of Cade Roux's design for this puzzle. Like the original, there is no checker. The final cache location is perhaps my personal favorite "hidden spot" in my adopted hometown.

Each of the lettered photos at the bottom of this description was taken from a location marked on this map (clicking the map will open a larger version in a new window) with a number.

Just as in Cade Roux's original, not all of the places marked with numbers on the map were used for photos. There are 8 extra locations on the map.

Once you have identified all the locations, the coordinates of the cache location will be given by: N 38° 3A.BCD W 121° 4E.FGH

Please be stealthy at the final location so as not to compromise the cache or the special container.
