Geocache Description:

Easy cache to find in Waynesboro and a not as easy puzzle to solve.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we have enjoyed preparing it. Note: The coordinates above are for Waynesboro, Virginia, NOT the exact location of the cache.

To begin, solve the following Sudoku puzzle. The rules for the game are simple. Using the numbers 1 through 9, the 81 squares in the grid must be filled so that every column, row and 3-by-3 block contains the numbers 1 through 9. No number can repeat within any column, row or block.

Then, decipher the following:

  • A = The top left number of the puzzle.
  • B = The top right number of the puzzle.
  • C = The center number of the puzzle.
  • D = The bottom left number of the puzzle.
  • E = The bottom right number of the puzzle.

The final cache coordinates are: N - 38° (A-5)(B-6).(C/2)(D+2)(E*0) W - 78° (A*1)(B-4).(C*2)(D-3)(E*8)

There is parking near the cache. This cache is camoflauged.

You do not need to go through tall weeds or thick brush or anything to get to this cache. If you think you do you need to go to this cache from a different location.

This is a log only cache. Make sure to bring a pencil.

The area can be a tad bit marshy if it has been raining.

***CONGRATULATIONS to Elliots4 for being the FTF this cache.
