A simple puzzle cache located near a little known City of Albuquerque Park. Cache is rated 1.5 due to the rocks and gravel near the cache and Art structure.
The coordinates given are for small ammo can in a locked trash can located adjacent to the Valley Gardens Park. Property owner has given permission to access the cache location. Valley Gardens was annexed into the City of Albuquerque in the 1960’s. The trash can is locked with a Sesamee combination lock that requires four 0-9 numbers to open. The combination can be found by finding four tiles located on the new City of Albuquerque Public Artwork located in park 220 feet West of the cache location (Artwork location N35 00.495 W106 42.422). The tiled Artwork is titled “A View of Valley Gardens, the Past to the Present” by Cassandra Reid a local artist. The Art was part of a City of Albuquerque flood control project completed in 2004. The Valley Gardens Area drainage collects water runoff in ponds in the street right of way.
To solve the puzzle:
1 – Find four tiles with carved inscriptions “G - L - #”. G is for Geocache, L is a letter to help with the arrangement, and # is one of the lock combination numbers.
2 – Arrange the numbers in the correct order using the middle letters.
3 – Add "0010" to your number and Insert the numbers in the lock, and push in toward box.
PLEASE be sure to feed the chain so the trash can is properly locked and set the lock to “0000”.
The Artwork is in the area we live in, and the artist requested neighborhood input for the tiles and we just had to create a Geocache. Take time to look at the great tiles made by many of the adults and children living in Valley Gardens area.
