I'm looking for anyone who wants to help me play a huge, code/puzzle based prank on my state.

I work a boring day job, but one of the benefits, is the travel. I drive all over my state making repairs. So I'm constantly moving around everywhere. Every gas station and grocery store I visit along the way has a public access community bulletin board either at the entrance or near the bathrooms. I've been contemplating playing a mysterious, very elaborate, and very large prank on my state.

Imagine this. Some day, a small slip of paper is stapled to the bulletin board. No announcement or any indication as to what it is for. Is it a contest? Is it a secret spy message? Who knows. But the slip of paper has some kind of puzzle/code on it. Figure out the answer to the code, and you figure out the puzzle is telling you to go to GPS coordinates, that point to another gas station somewhere else in the state. If you're adventurous enough to travel there, you find a completly diffrent puzzle on that board. As long as I know what puzzle goes where, I can staple as I go, laying out a huge mysterious treasure map. If you're bored enough to solve them all, 50 puzzles in you solve a puzzle that points right back at your starting point.

No idea if such a prank would either make the news or even get noticed...not many people actually stop to look at those boards, so it could be months before someone actually notices and takes the bait. But once that happens...I guess we just sit back and watch to find out what happens...

Anyone want to have some malicious fun and come up with diffrent codes and puzzles to use?
