Geocache Description:


**There is nothing at the posted coordinates. This is is a letterbox cache based on a puzzle, solve the puzzle to find the final coordinates. The letterbox stamp needs to stay inside the container.**

The purple cow has another puzzle for you on its way home. A logic grid puzzle. To unlock the final coordinates, enter the size, type, and terrain of QueenCactus' geocache (in the puzzle below) into the certitudes checker. You can download the image and solve on a device or print it out and solve by pencil. Plug all three in with all lower case letters and the number as digits with the decimal point (or as a single digit) with no spaces between them. EG: microtraditional1

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Do not visit the posted coordinates, there is nothing there for you. The final coordinates take you to a moderate to hard tree climb. We have permission to climb this tree, but stealth is still advised since not everyone at the location will be aware the building manager granted permission.
