Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The cache is not located in the middle of Anderson Lake (although that would be a neat cache!). This cache is a puzzle cache that requires you to solve a puzzle to obtain the coordinates of the final cache container. These false coordinates are within one mile of the final cache. You can check your final coordinates by clicking the little Geocheck icon at the bottom of the cache description so that you don't end up searching around in the wrong spot!

This next week, my goal is to post one new puzzle cache each day. They will all be winter-friendly hides in the Medford area. I thought I would start off the week with an easier Sudoku puzzle. The difficulty rating is the sum of the puzzle solve and the hide. Don't expect all of them to be this easy!

The final cache is a small tupperware container. There is room for some small trackables and trading items.
