Englishman, John Spilsbury, is often credited
with inventing the jigsaw puzzle in 1767. He was an engraver
and mapmaker. Spilsbury pasted a map of the world onto wood
and cut out each country with a jigsaw; thereby, creating the
world's first jigsaw puzzle. This device quickly became a
teaching tool for geography students because they learned the
location of each country as they reassembled the
pieces.

The listed
coordinates are NOT the coordinates of the cache; you'll
find those when you solve the puzzle. The location of the cache is
such that you will not have to trespass or go through a closed or
locked gate. The cache is small in size and contains only a log
sheet so bring your own pen. It has room enough for only one
geocoin at a time; so please, do not leave other items. And, as
always, reseal and rehide the cache in it's proper
location.
There is a modest
First Finder prize. So, have fun!
