Geocache Description:

You will only find a parking lot at the listed coordinates. The actual cache coordinates are hidden in the word search type puzzle below. Both are in the XX°XX.XXX' format with everything except the digits removed. Each is in a straight line and in proper order. They may be arranged vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and may be written forward or backwards.


Unpleasant Valley Puzzle

The listed coordinates are circled in the puzzle as an example. These take you to the entrance of a small Peoria Park District park. Only one other longitude and one other latitude in the puzzle will define a location anywhere inside this park. Find these coordinates and use them to locate the actual cache.

Smaller trade items are best for this 5" x 5" x 3" container. The cache is hidden away from the main walking trails. There are many worn paths in the woods throughout this park. If you can find the right paths you shouldn't need to bushwhack to find the cache.

No spoilers on the coordinates, please. Give everyone a chance to solve the puzzle. Thanks to the Peoria Park District for permission to place this cache and for maintaining this outstanding natural resource. As always, Cache In Trash Out.
