Geocache Description:

An enjoyable walk near the Etobicoke Creek.

The posted coordinates are for the parking and trail head in Mississauga. Enjoy a pleasant walk across a historical bridge linking Mississauga and Etobicoke. The cache is in Etobicoke and you must solve a Sudoku puzzle to find the actual coordinates for this cache. "Sud-o-what?" you may ask. I am sure most people have heard of this new puzzle sensation. (Well, new in 2005 when I hid this cache).

To solve the puzzle:
"Fill in the grid so that every row (9 cells wide), every column (9 cells tall) and every box (3 cells by 3 cells) contains the digits 1 through 9 in any order." If you need more information, there are plenty of websites to choose from, for example: http://www.dailysudoku.com/sudoku/index.shtml

The cache is a bison tube. PLEASE BRING A PEN OR PENCIL.

Substitute the letters from the puzzle into the following coordinates to find the Sudoku in Etobicoke cache:
N43° AB.CDE
W79° FG.HIJ

Enjoy.

****NEW as of MAY 6, 2018: This cache was originally hidden in 2005. I re-hid it on June 30, 2013. In early 2018, the tree it was hidden in was chopped down. I have moved the cache once again. The puzzle remains the same, as does the geo-checker. To figure out the solution: solve the Sudoku, check it in the checker and add this information to off-set those coordinates: +.011 to North -.011 to West****
