Minesweeper Wizard Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

haloedversionls: Another one bites the dust!

This is the fourth cache that I've had to archive this week! Very sad.

Unfortunately, the old railroad bridge foundation that this cache resides on is being demolished and the cache location looks to have been destroyed. Even if it is not, this is an active (de)construction zone and access is not safe. Also, it seems that the area is being more thoroughly posted as private property and the area of the cache may be being included.

Ultimately, it looks like this location will no longer be suitable for a cache.

I enjoyed creating this puzzle and am very sad to see it archived: Placed October 2011, Archived August 2016, 16 finds, one favorited point.

The cache is NOT at the above coordinates. This is a puzzle that must be solved.You must gather information from the failed minesweeper game below to obtain the coordinates.

Please be aware of the POSTED private property near to the final GZ. There is no need to trespass to acquire this cache. Respect the signs and go around.

For those wondering, my fastest time on expert is about 230 seconds.
