Description:
The above coordinates are false. The cache is somewhere in Stiglmeier Park, and is my favorite container: an ammo-box. To find the cache you'll have to decipher these Mahjong tiles. Did you ever hear of the game "Mahjong"? I didn't until last week! When I saw it I knew I had to place a cache that integrated the game.

Mahjong originated in China, but is quite popular throughout all of Asia. The western game that resembles it the most is gin rummy.

Basically to win the game you must make several suits, each of which has 13-16 tiles.

The last number in your north row will be "0", as well as the first number in your west row.
