Who doesn't love doing jigsaw puzzles?
Awhile ago I came up with the idea of using online jigsaw puzzles as a means of creating a puzzle cache. By this time I have a series of them in Seattle (see User's Web Page above). I figured the cachers of Anchorage might enjoy this kind of cache. What you do is assemble the puzzles below so you can read the coordinates to a micro cache I've hidden in the downtown area. I thought it appropriate to begin with a picture of the city skyline (see picture link below). There is only one version of the puzzle. Sorry Mac users!

Here is a downloadable Windows version. Most people prefer to do this version. Here also the pieces are rotated to the correct orientation (in some of my tougher puzzles they are randomly rotated). You are looking for a orange/gold color bison capsule ... well concealed. Please rehide as well as you found it.

NOTE: Unfortunately, there is not an option of saving the puzzle in a semi-completed state. I have written the software creators urging them to add this option but thus far so change. This particular puzzle should take between a half hour and an hour to complete ... unless you attended WSU, in which case it is unsolvable.

And, most of all ... enjoy! peace fishiam

CONGRATS to scobey on his FTF - and having to assemble the puzzle twice, no less!

After I worked out the puzzle and saw the location, I went right out and found it.
Darkness, spiders and dog poop,, did I say fun?

We were able to get to this "refreshed" cache this evening. Thanks for the blank log!

WooHoo, another Scobey puzzle cache done. Almost made this one a park and grab by approaching from the north. Thanks for fixing this cache. SL.
