Geocache Description:


There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache. 

A few months ago I started creating mystery (puzzle) caches every week. This led to the '23 Winter series. It was so much fun, I decided to try to keep going through the Spring of 2023. This cache is the second in what I hope is a series of caches throughout the spring of 2023. Be sure to save the bonus information from the geochecker for the spring season finale. On with the show...

This series I’m exploring some of my favorite caches and some I’ve never been to (yet). Here are 14 lists of caches I’d like to find as I travel around the world.

Can you find the cache before you lose energy and fizzle out?

There are many cities to visit to cache because some cities just have so many caches to find. Here are some of the places I want to go and some of the caches I want to get in this particular order. I know once I’ve made my way through all of these lists, I’ll know where to find this cache for this puzzle.
