McGeesters: Man this is hard!
The final location has been seriously compromised and will never be the same.
Instead of trying to rework this cache, we will give it an honorable sendoff and leave it in all its glory.
Thank you Kensquaches for your great puzzle, it is one of the best caches we have ever found and leaves a puzzling hole in the area.

Geocache Description:

So while talking to some cachers about the hard puzzles in Salem they told me that just don’t do puzzles anymore because the take too much time for little pay off. Well my friends this cache is not for you! As the rating implies it is not easy but I guarantee you will have fun doing it even if you do shed a bit of DNA in the process.

So there is a certain cacher who occasionally haunts Salem (it’s even rumored he lives here) who, in the past, has gotten us to go buy a bunch of tools to get his caches. I can’t tell you how long it took us to find some of it as they can be very rare. This cache is mostly a direct rip off of his ideas so for those of that have found the caches I speak of this will be a breeze but I beg of you don’t ease the suffering of the ones that haven’t hunted them yet.

It is important for you to know that to get this cache you will need to decrypt this entire puzzle. Don’t go off half cocked from your yurt when you figure out the cords because you may find you’ll be sleeping in a tent that night and you know that the lizards and toads will just love to squirm into your bag with you on that night, you know what I mean SA.

Be quick on the first two waypoints for this one as the times posted can be a bit tricky

We enjoy reading everyones logs when they find our cache hides and appreciate when they say more than TNLN or THX.

Have fun and happy caching!
