Geocache Description:

This should be a quick and easy cache. Cache is an ammo box, the location for the cache is in the puzzle. The above coordinates are that of the nearest 4-way cross street intersection.


Muggles can be in the area so be discreet. You may want to sign and swap in your car depending on the amount of muggle traffic in the area. The 2nd floor is all GeoCache friendly and there is no need to approach the building.  The first floor has occasional muggle meetings, so it isn't uncommon for smokers to frequent the area, or people talking on their cell phones.  So grab a smoke or a phone and blend in for the hunt.  (Talking into your GPS isn't recommended *wink*)

Please, when logging your find, don't mention location, description of cache, clues, etc.  Let's keep this one stealth so all can enjoy.

Puzzle for final coordinates of the cache.  Google to find your answers.
