Geocache Description:

Solve a crossword puzzle to get the coordinates of a small cache.

Don't go to the location listed above. It's just a random spot in a park within a few miles of the cache. To get the correct coordinates, you'll need to solve the crossword puzzle below.

All of the answers are common English words. Six of them are names of numbers. Put those numbers, in the order that their clues are shown (Across clues first, then Down clues), in the blanks in these coordinates:

    N 3 8 º  3 _ . _ _ 1    W 1 2 1 º  4 _ . _ _ 8

The cache is about 2 by 3 by 5 inches. Nearest parking is to the south.

Here's a text-only version of the puzzle; view or print it in a fixed-width font:
