Geocache Description:


Welcome to Nictaux Puzzle Trail!

If you like puzzles, this is a great place to spend some time.
Inspired by Puzzle Street, this series was placed in recognition of
the work by “islander 1988” on Puzzle Street.

For general info about the series, see NPT01.

Now that you have seen the forest trail and view along the lake, move on and enjoy the trail as it follows along the Nictaux River for a ways.

There are those that may walk at night and look up and wonder that age old question...are we alone? What are the chances someone else is out there...maybe watching...maybe listening...or maybe even trying to make contact! Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) carries on this quest, but how will the public ever know if they find something? Surely we must quantify the impact of any public announcement regarding evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence!
