Geocache Description:


Addicted to geocaching? Well, we’ve got The Cure . . . another cache! Just one more won’t hurt you. You can stop any time, right? Of course you can! Now get out there and get your fix!

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE COORDINATES POSTED ABOVE. If you go to those coordinates, you can—for a fee—receive a multitude of cures. The actual cache is within 1 mile of the posted coordinates.

To celebrate finding our 100th cache on October 11, 2007, we decided to get off our rear ends and finally hide one. This is the first of what I’m sure will be many to come. We wanted to create one that would be a fun challenge as a “thank you” to all those cachers who have given us so many great hides in our first 100.

We love puzzle caches, so we couldn’t help adding a layer of complexity to this one. (The difficulty rating was chosen in consideration of the puzzle and the actual cache location.) We don’t think it’ll take long for you puzzle hounds to solve it, though. Please note the terrain rating, as you will want to keep a close eye on any young children you happen to bring along.

Solving the puzzle below will give you the exact coordinates of the cache.

Make sure to re-hide the cache at least as well as you found it. Enjoy your search for The Cure!
