Geocache Description:


**NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES**

This cache is part of a series placed along Highway 10 stretching across Minnesota to North Dakota, in order to add some variety to the caches along the otherwise monotonous route. Each cache is a park and grab (or park and solve, then park and grab), and all are winter friendly. I have placed them so that grabbing them adds no more than 30-60 seconds to your trip, as you will not have to venture off of the highway. The size is a micro, however it is a "larger" micro, so I have left some starting swag for FTF or whoever else :)

 

We are always seeking out warmer weather this time of year, so I kept that theme going in this puzzle. This one is likely best done on a computer, however, it can still be done via mobile device, so it would make a nice time-killer for any passengers. Keep in mind it is a two-part puzzle, so you will be using your answers from part one to assist you in part two.

Some tips: When your answers are correct in the first puzzle, they will turn green. If incorrect, they will stay white. If doing the second puzzle on a mobile device, tap on the starting letter and then on the final letter- it won't work to try to drag the highlighter. Note for the second puzzle: "ant" is written twice on there somehow, but it is NOT the ant found on the third to last row, six columns in. If you cross that ant off, you will get the incorrect answer.
