Geocache Description:


The given coordinates are where I was parked when I hid the cache. Solve the puzzle below to learn the coordinates of the cache.

The third cache in a row that I think is going to be easy to solve, although I was apparently wrong about the first two; so maybe this is just final corner in the Bermuda Triangle of kablooey puzzles this year. Hopefully, this one will give you a break and not be too hard. And maybe you won't fall for too many red herrings this time, and you'll see the correct angle quickly, allowing you to stick this solution into your hip pocket.

Special Notes about the 2025 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2026). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

 

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: I'm sure that you will be able to find a closer parking spot than the given coordinates. Nothing super nefarious about the late publication this month. The reviewer accidentally set the automatic publish date to 7/1 instead of 6/1, and I didn't pay close enough attention to the confirmation email; so I didn't notice his mistake until 8am, and we all had to wait nearly a day for him to check his email. 4 June 2025: Decided to replace image 7 hopefully to reduce ambiguity.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
