Numbers Here and Numbers There Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

WARedBear: Well it happened...just as everyone had warned. We were coming back from my geocaching trip in Oklahoma City and I noticed the Wenatchee river was in flood stage. I stopped to check out the cache and the area was under water. I looked down river and saw the cache container washing against the shore. I retrieved it and found it full of water. So I am permanately archiving the cache.
My thanks to ccmin, Patudles, The Navigatorz, Barnabirdy, and Team Joyson for finding the cache. There was also three kyakers who were introduced to the sport by finding the cache.

Geocache Description:


THE COORDINATES ABOVE ARE FOR A NEARBY INTERSECTION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER HILL, NOT THE CACHE!

Well I've done it now. I have a few cache finds under my belt, ideas for five caches rolling around in my head, one that is near completion and this one, my first, completed. I enjoy reading the different history stories associated with certain caches and I find the puzzle ones intriguing. I love a good mind bending puzzle. So I thought I would use one of my favorite type of puzzles for my first cache idea. What fun is there in just giving out the coordinates right? Just kidding, we need those easy finds to keep us going sometimes. So here we go. Please let me know what you think of "Numbers Here and Numbers There".

Not to far from the cache location is what the locals call "Number Hill". The local high school seniors place the current years digits up there for all to see.  You will need to complete the cross-number puzzle below in order to find the numbers for the cache location. The numbers in the yellow boxes are the lat/long digits.
