Out caching with el_fudgeeo today and finally was able to get all four of the pieces. Headed for the cache and lo and behold ... another test!
Were we worthy of the challenge?
We searched around for a few minutes before finally figuring this one out, found the final stage and finished the puzzle.I really enjoyed this one - nice work!

Out for a day of caching with League of Robots. We were successful at the four stations, and come to the main event, where we hit a brick wall. Where is that last key? We found a small camo container with a number grid on it, but that did not fit in the lockbox :). We searched around a bit for another container that had the missing bit, but no luck. We thought the key might be with the main cache, so we fully uncovered it, and thought - what a pretty design. Then the penny dropped, and we were off. Found the missing piece of the puzzle and opened up the main cache.Very nicely done. The whole series was fun to do, and the puzzle at the end was unexpected. Good thing there were two of us, so we could bounce ideas off one another. We replaced the small cammo container in a clump of trees probably 1 or 2 m from the main cache towards the new-born sun. T - kids book, Travel bug
L - assorted small plastic animals

Ok. Did the whole series this afternoon. Got all the answers needed to open the cache. Found the cache easily, and opened it, only to find that there was one more piece to the puzzle. We searched as directed by the hint, and the writings on the cache container. Searched and searched and searched. Finallay found a camo'd container SE of the cache, not E. The cryptic piece inside made no sense to us, so back to searching. Nothing. Finally left this one, as we had to be back in the city for other commitments. Will return once the final piece is proven to exist.

Added a hint to the final cache. Please attempt to finish before reading it. Honestly! I didn't make it to be that overly complicated! lol. Just don't overthink it when you're there.

We came, we saw, we ........... didn't find!
This was a very frustrating way to end the day in Martensville. After finding all the clues that we needed and locating the cache we weren't able to open it and sign the log book because we couldn't find the final key based on the cryptic clue. Maybe you could include a waypoint for the key in the hints for those of us who are overly challenged by riddles.

Always feel like I need to reassure people that the cache is still there and attainable when there's a DNF. And since it's so easy for me to check it's not impossible to do this. Anyways, everything is still there in the same places they've been since I placed it almost a year ago. No worries :) Only thing that's changed is the amount of ground cover placed over the cache to eliminate any future attacks by axe wielding muggles who really really really want into the cache without unlocking hte locks. Yeah. . . that happened. Only took a day for me to replace it though. YAY!

We look and we look and we look, and then we looked some more. "Who does that" was the phrase I kept using when i couldnt find it. At least it was really nice and sunny out and it felt really natur-e! Hope u find out if its missing, or else give some sort of other hint thats not so complicated.

You are a mean mean person to do this to us... we found the pale and had all the clues but couldn't find the key for the final lock... we search for about 1/2 hour and finally gave up... (and I usually don't hang around much longer than 10-15 mins for DNF) -
We think that with the last time someone found this and all the winter growth and moss around that it is not findable - we even called a life line friend but she found it so long ago that it was different from now...
It was fun to find all of these but it would have been better to get the final cache since it would have been my 200th - anyway I believe checking on the final key is necessary.
Thanks for the hunt

Cache is back with its new paint job. As well, I have changed the way it's locked up, so you'll have to visit ALL four elements to get into the cache.

Taking cache in to give it a new coat of camo and fix some things on the container itself. Should be back within a day or two.

I hadn't been out here since the summer, but today was so nice I decided to come out at lunch to finish this off. What a great cache and what a great series. I loved the adventure -- thanks. Since there is little foliage around these days, I covered up the cache a bit with moss and sticks. It still should be an easy find for someone who is looking for it. TNLNSL TFTC

Solved the four elements puzzle today. Found three elements and the final cache. Had some trouble with Fire, searched some and didn’t find it then the muggles started showing up. The others were relatively easy. The GPS went a little erratic for the final cache, but because it was big I was able to find the cache. I must say this is a very well planed puzzle, well done TNLN TFTC SL

Fantastic final cache! What a blast we had chasing down the other caches to get here. The skunk encounter was pretty funny after the fact. George was a good boy and let us search in stealth for a long time. This was part of an excellent day of caching in great company.

Spent the late afternoon caching with SNSGKrieger - well no N. This was our fourth of 10 today :) Thought we'd tackle this series. Decided after finishing 3 of the 4 elements that we'd give this one a go since we were so close to it. Found it right away and we cheered when each lock was opened. Imagine our surprise inside. lol. Spent lots and lots of time in the area of the final. There was one point when we were all spread out a long ways when Novy yelled 'SKUNK!!!!' and came rushing back towards ground zero. He and the skunk has come face to face only 5 feet apart! Luckily they both were equally started and took off in different directions. Sask_girl was paranoid the skunk was going make its way towards them which kept her from venturing too far out. Finally we achieved our goal. We grabbed the geocoin but didn't trade anything because we left the cache bag in the car. TFTC! What a lot of work you put in :) Great fun :)

Oh the sweet taste of success.
The team managed to find all five in the series today and we had a great time doing it. It was a great way to be introduced to geocaching. TFTC. [This entry was edited by xcmtr on Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 7:25:13 PM.]

We finally got the combination to this one. Had logged it as a find before, but that was technically not right. Did get into today. Thanks for being patient with us. Took the diabetes travel bug. Took nothing, left nothing, signed the log. pike_eater

After a challenging 2 days and numerous trips to find "Fire" of course everyone knows we can not live without fire--well our flames were flickering pretty low in "Muggleville".Almost impossible to outwait them--but yes success. All 4 codes in hand we were off.
We knew where we were going so felt great about this one. Then----SURPRISE-----Will send you a personal note on this .Scratch1 took some pictures as well.
Cache is sitting there cute as you please.This was a fun-challenging-frustrating-rewarding cache to do. Very well thought out.
Thought we had completed this one last night as we thought the "key" had gone missing. Turned out after checking with the owner we were oh so close to the completion. Back K went with Scratch1 team this morning to complete.

WOOOOHOOOOO! FTF!
This was a long day in Martensville. We had intended to knock this series off in the morning then head in to Saskatoon a do several more before our late afternoon wedding. As it turned out we were here almost all day and made it to the wedding hall in time to get changed quickly and take our seats. We stopped by here earlier in the day after doing the water element and decided that even though we had failed at earth, that we could get in with three elements. After all you need a hinge on the lid right? Yup...no problem it opens up fine...but then another twist once you're in the pail, but I won't spoil the surprise. Needless to say we completed it.
T: FTF prize. and portable pet bowl. L: clip on pencil and a mechanical pencil. Also dropped off a Diabetes TB.
TFTC You made us work, but it was a great day and lots of fun!

Yeah for EDOs! T saw this challenge pop up mid afternoon and off the mwellmans went. After only finding 2/4 caches, we thought that maybe we could find it by playing with the two coordinates we had - bad idea. We ended up in a farmers field and a backyard etc. We will wait to see if anyone else finds the other two. But we did have fun and found two more FTFs. Thanks for the puzzle and the adventure in Martinsville.Duh! Now that I read the cache description again this morning, we were very close to the final cache. But finding it wouldn't have helped us as we had only 2/4 of the 'codes'. We'll be back to finish this puzzle. Hopefully we will not fail our mentor.
