Crossword Puzzle Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

BluEyz and Bugsy: It is time to end this cache's long run. Obviously, the area where it was placed is being worked on and the owners do not appreciate the cache (check the last log entry). Also, the puzzle has become outdated as the sport has changed a bit since 2002 when the box was placed. We plan on placing another cache in a nearby area because we want cachers to get a chance to see the topiary that they might miss otherwise. Stay tuned...

Cross the street and look for the path that leads to the hiking trail. Please do not bushwhack through private property.

The cache is only a few feet off the trail so you may have to wait for joggers and walkers to pass before you check out the cache.The cache should be difficult, but not impossible, to find in the snow.
