1. Here is the puzzle.

Geocache Description:

Posted Coordinates:   N 45° 08.790, W 090° 26.021

Solve the puzzle to get the final coordinates. The cache is within one mile of the posted coordinates. You can verify your coordinates with the Geocheck icon at the bottom of the description.

This is the last cache in the Puzzle Week series.

2.  Identify the commonality between the listed items.

Since several of the items are road names, and the other items look like they could be road names, start by using Google Maps to look at the roads near the posted coordinates.

Posted Coordinates:  N 45° 08.790, W 090° 26.021

Google Maps - Posted Coordinates

As you can see, the posted coordinates take you to Brook Dr.

Now zoom out and look at the names of other roads that are nearby, comparing the road names to the puzzle list.  You will find several names from the list on the map.

Notice that all of the listed roads are parallel to one another.  Also notice that Brook Dr is the road that is farthest north, and the road that is farthest south is Hickory Rd.

3.  Solve the puzzle.

Starting with Brook Dr, make a list of the roads from north to south, and number them.

0 = Brook Dr.

1 = STH-64

2 = CTH-O

3 = Apple Ave.

4 = Pine Ave.

5 = CTH-A

6 = Stetson Ave.

7 = Elm Ave.

8 = County Line Rd.

9 = Hickory Rd.

Now apply the road numbers to the puzzle list.

4 = Pine Ave.

5 = CTH-A

0 = Brook Dr.

7 = Elm Ave.

9 = Hickory Rd.

6 = Stetson Ave.

5 = CTH-A

0 = Brook Dr.

9 = Hickory Rd.

0 = Brook Dr.

2 = CTH-O

6 = Stetson Ave.

2 = CTH-O

1 = STH-64

5 = CTH-A

4.  Put the Solved Coordinates together.

Solved Coordinates:

   N 45° 07.965, W 090° 26.215   

5.  Verify the Solved Coordinates with GeoCheck.
