Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES

You are looking for a camo'd waterproof match container.

I usually avoid puzzle caches, because they make my brain hurt. If you are anything like me, then this cache is specifically designed for you.


Many Geocachers Refuse To Do Puzzle Caches Because:

(a) They Think That The Puzzles Are Too Hard To Solve.

(b) They Know That They Are Not Bright Enough To Figure Them Out.

(c) Both "a" and "b".

(f) Tilt, Tilt, Tilt.

Well, If You Fit Descriptions "a", "b", "c" or Maybe Even An "f", Then You Are In Luck.

I Have Lowered The Intellectual Bar To Such An Extreme Level, That Even The Totally Perplexed should be able to log a find.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Puzzle-Cache Is Dedicated To All The Geocachers Whose Problem Solving Skills...Totally Suck.



After many long hours of thoughtless thoughts trying to find a way to include the Bewildered in another aspect of Geocaching, I believe that I have finally created the perfect Puzzle Cache that can be solved by both...the Puzzle Experts and the Neuron Deprived...In About The Same Amount Of Time.

Don't let this Puzzle scare you. You can solve it in the comfort of your own home, taking as much time as needed...Days, Months or even Years. No one outside your little world will ever know that you are totally Clueless, Confused or Downright Dense.

How To Play:

When you have built up enough courage to play, click on the “I Ain't Afraid, I Wanna Play ” link. A Photo of the area where the Cache is located will display. Your mission is to study that Photo for the clues, Identify the area, Get the coordinates, Go locate the Cache and Log your find. It should take the average person under 60 seconds to solve this puzzle.

You can check your coordinates for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Please, No Emails For Hints Unless You Have Exhausted All Other Means. In Case You Don't Find The Cache, You Are Allowed To Call A Friend For Help. Be Sure to bring yer own writin' stick!

Ok, Are You Ready? Take a Deep Breath And Click On The "I Ain't Afraid, I Wanna Play" Link To Display The Puzzle.

I Ain't Afraid, I Wanna Play!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logging The Find:

Be Sure To mention if you had any problems solving the Cache, If there weren't enough clues...etc.

Feel free to post Hints, Spoiler Pictures of Ground Zero and the Cache Container to help the next Oblivious GeoCacher.



Finally:

This Puzzle-Cache is active and out there right now. It is waiting for you to find it. It keeps showing up in your searches and Mocks you. You know you want to solve it and log it. What Is Your Excuse?

A nod to Drooling_Mongoloid for the concept, and for help with the photo.

Congratulations to bonehog for the FTF!
