The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle to determine the actual coordinates of the cache.
Another month where it somehow got to be 9pm on the day before the first, and I hadn't even hidden a cache, much less determined a puzzle idea. So, this one is located close to home, even though I haven't seen the subject of the puzzle anywhere in this area, but I have seen them in Nevada and New Mexico. Easy peasy, at least if you're familiar with these right angles. Still maybe easy even if you aren't, but we'll see how that turns out. At least you don't have to download risky audiofiles or visit sketchy websites for now.
Special Notes about the 2026 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 2027). 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: Parking might be tricky on game days (which tend to be Saturdays and Sundays). You might also want to avoid school dropoff and pickup times, as traffic jams are not uncommon.
You can validate your puzzle solution with
