Geocache Description:

This cache is near a baseball park in Sugar Land, Texas. It will be an easy park and grab. It is in a great location to bring the kids.

The cache is NOT at the above coordinates! These coordinates are the closest major intersection to the actual cache. This is #21 in the FTF trophy series. To learn more please read the FTF Trophy page.
Our family loves Sudoku puzzles, so we thought it would be fun to have you solve a easy Sudoku puzzle to find the actual cache coordinates.
If you have not done Sudoku before then read these rules to help you solve the puzzle. A Sudoku puzzle consists of a grid of nine rows and nine columns subdivided into nine 3x3 subgrids.
SuDoku has two simple rules:
• Each column, each row and each box (subgrid) must contain each of the numbers 1 to 9.
• Therefore, no column, row or box can contain two squares with the same number.
It’s that simple. So solve the puzzle, then follow the directions below to get the coordinates.
||===|===|===||===|===|===||===|===|===||
||   | 8 | 6 ||   | 3 | 9 || 4 |   |   ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
||   | 1 |   ||   |   | 2 ||   |   |   ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
||   | 7 |   ||   |   |   ||   | 1 | 8 ||
||===|===|===||===|===|===||===|===|===||
||   | 2 |   ||   |   | 3 ||   |   | 4 ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
||   |   |   || 6 |   | 1 ||   |   |   ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
|| 6 |   |   || 5 |   |   ||   | 7 |   ||
||===|===|===||===|===|===||===|===|===||
|| 7 | 3 |   ||   |   |   ||   | 9 |   ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
||   |   |   || 9 |   |   ||   | 4 |   ||
||---|---|---||---|---|---||---|---|---||
||   |   | 9 || 3 | 5 |   || 1 | 2 |   ||
||===|===|===||===|===|===||===|===|===||

Now to get the actual coordinates to the cache,
N 29* (row2column8) (row7column6).(row6column2) (row1column4) (row9column1)
W 095* (row6column7) (row4column4).(row2column1) (row6column9) (row5column3)
Happy Hunting!!!!!!
The FTF of course will receive the FTF trophy to keep for 30 days proudly on their mantel. After the 30 days it will be there responsibility to create a cache for this fun challenge to continue.
The cache is filled with toys and very kid friendly!!!! Enjoy!
