Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle to determine the coordinates of the cache.

I'm finding that sometimes these big boxes storing who knows what kinds of goods don't always just travel in the rightmost lane. Especially on 580, you might easily find yourself boxed in if you are not paying attention. This cache is not hidden near 580, but near another place where you can easily find yourself boxed in on weekdays.






Special Notes about the 2025 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2026). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Cache is hidden in Oakland; so no bridge toll required from the East Bay. Should be an easy one. Almost rated this D2.5.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
