      With the recent proliferation of puzzle caches in the area. We need more puzzles of this type. Check this one out. I found it on the National forums.
      It’s called “Lunch Time” (GC1A14V)

        I call this puzzle a “letterbox.”

          Scratch that…I wouldn’t be allowed to publish this as a letterbox because a letterbox must “involve GPS use as an integral part of the hunt. A letterbox hybrid cannot be designed to be found using only clues.” And posting parking coordinates only have been deemed as “not integral to the hunt.”

          So that makes this puzzle a….puzzle. Man, my head hurts.

            I guess by definition it’s a puzzle:

            “a toy, problem, or other contrivance designed to amuse by presenting difficulties to be solved by ingenuity or patient effort.”

            at least the “patient effort” part and the “amuse” part make it a “puzzle”

            we had a laugh when we saw the picture… reminded me of those “stare at the famous painting” emails where the ghost face shows up and it screams.

              Oh duh, coords ARE integral to the hunt. Didn’t let the gif age long enough. Pardon my blonde moment.
