Geocache Description:

To get this cache you will need to solve the Sudoku puzzle. Use the coordinates found to follow a trail of clever micro containers to find the cache.



The listed coordinates indicate the suggested area for parking!

The difficulty and terrain have been set fairly high due to the puzzle difficulty, then the micros are kind of mean plus it will covers a walking distance of over a mile on park trails – no bushwacking needed… Of course this is also in a well known public park so muggles will be everywhere...

Forget crosswords and those other lame puzzles, Sudoku is the latest craze sweeping the world. In fact you could say we are "nuts" for Sudoku! These puzzles can be fun and frustrating at the same time.... Sounds just like Geocaching to me so why not combine the two.

Below you will find a four star Sudoku puzzle. A four star puzzle is very difficult and will require previous puzzle solving experience. If you have never tried to solve one of these, then this is not the place to start… Don’t despair, these puzzles are actually very simple when you learn the ‘rules’ and ‘strategies’. The best place to start is to pick up a beginners puzzle book and go from there…

Sharpen your pencils and get to it!

Note: There is also a letterbox type hide within 200 feet of the final stage. They are not close enough together that they should be confused for one another.
