The Commander's Conundrum

A difficult mystery cache in Dane county

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.


This cache could be a very difficult mystery find. Not so much for the puzzles that must be solved but because there is only one easy way to get to each waypoint.. If you don’t find the easy way, this may be as physically demanding as the MATRIX is mentally demanding. At the first location, you will get everything you need to complete your caching adventure. Read the card at the initial WP and note the contents (please write them down) so you can solve this mystery cache. There are some hints in initial and follow on logs that may be helpful.


The hints to the first puzzle follow:

  • Go Badgers
  • To the left of the rock and down the hill
  • The BEARS still suck!
  • Posted: NO TRESPASSING
  • Coordinates and clues for follow on waypoints are in first cache.

That is all you need to get to the FIRST cache. This is a devilishly hard cache to solve so my best luck goes out to all of you and may you all return healthy and not have any terrible accidents. Please look hard for the easy way to the hides. If you are FIRST to find, you will see what I mean.

***Congratulations to HOT TROT on the FTF***
