Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
Solve the  puzzle below to obtain the final coordinates.

Many summer visitors to the interior of western North America are puzzled when, hiking along the shore of a salt lake, a prairie slough, or an alpine tarn, they hear above them the sound of the sea. Looking up, they may be further surprised when they see a gull soaring, its white underparts gleaming from the reflected light of the water or salt flat below. This gull, far from the ocean, is likely breeding on islands in a nearby lake, for the California Gull is a breeding bird of inland seas.

Solve the jigsaw puzzle to obtain the final coordinates.
