The temps dropped and the weather looked wonderful, so decided to take a day off from my school work and head out for a long overdue stroll at Coe.

Route:
Hunting Hollow > Middle Steer > Bowl Trail > Wilson Camp > Steer Ridge Rd > Serpentine > Grizzly Gulch > Wagon Road > Phegley Ridge > Hunting Hollow.

Ended up doing 16.1 miles, 4190' of ascent. Classic Coe! :) Felt good in the home stretch down Hunting Hollow, much better than I expected after this many miles.

Part of the mission for the day was pulling caches. Archiving everything in my inventory as time allows. Too many hassles and too much whining from cachers. Verbal abuse in email and logs. Finds logged when they did not visit and sign. People celebrating the king of fake logs with events! And GS not providing any support when the CO tries to enforce the quality of his caches. Done.

My suggestions for anyone that has concerns with this approach:
* Help clean up the game by raising your concerns with Groundspeak. Let them know that bad behavior by players, cheating, allowing false finds, and such has degraded the game.
* Do the same with the cachers involved. Politely hold them accountable. Publicly, in some cases, if need be.

Geocache Description:

A small box along the Bowl trail. Please do not remove laminated plastic tag that is in the container. It contains one of the clues for the puzzle.

This cache is part of the GC3D6Q0 Geocachers Tribute Puzzle at Coe State Park puzzle cache. The puzzle calls out four geocachers who have made Coe SP their own: Alpharomero, Bullit, Geokashers, Werdave. There are 34 caches along the trails of south Coe that spell out their names. Each cache has a piece of the puzzle in it. Finders must collect the 34 pieces of info to calculate the final location of the puzzle.

Please do not remove laminated plastic tag that is in the container. It contains one of the clues for the puzzle. The numbers on the tag are required for the puzzle formula. The numbers are also listed on the cover of the logbook, but logbooks sometimes get soggy or damaged. The tag is a backup.
