Geocache Description:

Recent rains have caused a slight problem with the hide. After you solve the puzzle, e-mail me for the correct numbers.

Trogdor had bought a cabin lot in Las Llejas Canyon from Strong Bad who is a sales agent for developer Howard Marr. Mr. Marr subdivided several large parcels into the Marrland Estates and Country Club of which Trogdor wanted to be part. Unfortunately, like many of the other lots in Marrland, inaccurate records and real estate fraud have been common problems. With out a clear title, poor Trogdor never got to build is dream cabin. However, Trogdor thinks that somehow the value of his property may be greatly increased with the newly formed Marrland Open Space completely enveloping his parcel. Imagine your cabin surrounded by permanently preserved Open Space! Trogdor really wants that title so he can sell the property and get rich off of his previous mistake!

Strong Bad has told Trogdor that he can have the clear title to his property if he successfully solves a puzzle he has left in a note. Although Strong Bad has encoded his message with symbols recently seen in the geocaching community, there is more to his puzzle than simply reading the message. Strong Bad is sure that a dragon will give up long before solving the puzzle.
