I meant what I said... (Nelson/Marlborough)
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
With the winter months well and truly upon us there seems to be a
distinct lack of new caches being published. Therefore we have
placed this one and two others to keep your geocaching skills
warmed over winter. The cache is a 1 lt camo container but it is
not at the above co-ordinates.
You will need to work your way to the final location by using some
clues and puzzle pieces that we have left for you. The first things
to collect are the puzzle pieces - these are located at the
following two traditional caches:
GC1DMZR - Handy to Hanby
GC1DN0F - Spot to Contemplate
Update: Puzzle pieces now located on the above cache pages as
uploaded images.
Once you have decoded the puzzle pieces you will be well on the
road to finding this cache. For very good reason
there is quite some distance involved in this cache so do not
expect any quick rewards. It can easily be done within an hour by
car if you plan your route well. The key to decoding the puzzle
pieces is identifying the relevance of the following famous
quote:
"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant....."
Hopefully you enjoy the puzzle (sorry about the spelling it
couldn't be helped), the final cache location is nothing special
but would be a good place for taking dogs for a swim or a wander -
it is very near a riverside walkway system. Be careful with your
logs - no spoilers will be allowed on this one. Sorry no geochecker
on this one - it just doesn't work
