The cache is not at the listed coordinates. You will need to follow the instructions below to get the actual coordinates.

You are looking for a special set of round containers. The largest is about 1.5" in diameter and 6" high. BYOP. Please reassemble and replace as found.

Our original flash-based puzzle no longer works. There is no easy access to the online jigsaw puzzle to identify the person in the picture. Instead of a jigsaw puzzle clue, we have this clue for you.

"This person was a prolific inventor. One of his inventions makes it easier for people to see small print and read. Another invention may protect a building from a lightning strike."

Find the day, month and year this person was born.

A = 3rd digit in year of birth

B = 1st digit in year of birth

C = Number of letters in last name

D = 2nd digit in day of birth

Actual coordinates are:

Cache is hidden in the woods in southern NJ where a thriving cranberry cannery once flourished. The remains of the cannery buildings are not too far away. A series of bogs with interconnecting dikes and roads was here.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com. Or you can use the Geocaching Solution Checker which we also added when we updated this listing on June 12, 2020.
