Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDS! ! ! You will need to work through the puzzle below to get to the prize.

 

For my 10th hide, I've gone all out by placing a specially built container and using every loose puzzle idea that's been floating around in my head.

This is what you seek!

It seems so easy! Find the Cryptex, open the box, enter the code, and sign the log. But where is it??

A caveat before you go off hunting: YOU WILL NEED BOOTS!

While the cache size does say regular, TREAT THIS CACHE LIKE A SMALL CACHE. There is room only for the log and some small trade items. You will need a writing impliment!
