A fun mystery that takes you on a nice walk in the woods once you solve it. Please note that the nearby trail can be used to start your hunt for this cache, however the trail does not take you directly to the cache - it will require some bushwacking. The cache was placed in the winter when things were frozen so the difficulty and terrain might vary depending on the season.
Cache is not at published coordinates, but they will lead you to parking area. Help Joe assemble all his supplies to find the coordinates.
Joe DePlummah, a plumber by trade, was busy on a new multi-million dollar lake house in Long Lake. On smaller projects he keeps track of what he needs in his head, but this project was so big that he made a list of the parts he needed, breaking each installation out separately. Now all he had to remember is how everything fit together!

Joe tried to save time by buying a lot of small pipe sections so he didn’t have to cut any long pipes to shorter lengths, although he knew that he might have to use some couplings to join two pipes to make a longer straight section.
Two jobs in the North Wing used the same parts but Joe remembered that the first North Wing job with those parts was bigger than the second North Wing job with the same parts. Two jobs in the West Wing also used the same parts but Joe remembered that the first West Wing job with those parts was smaller than the second West Wing job with the same parts.
