This cache was created to honor PantalaNagaPampa's achievement of finding 1000 geocaches.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, PNP has found puzzle caches, multicaches, and letterboxes. In her logs, she is honest and humble, writing in her charming style about her adventures with her mini-me's and the other company she keeps.
To find this cache you must first solve the puzzle on this page. The puzzle consists of two "jumbles." Unscramble the sets of letters to form common words. Then arrange the circled letters to form an answer to the cartoon question.
The answer to the first cartoon suggests the decimal part of the north coordinate. The answer to the second suggests the decimal part of the west coordinate. These decimal parts are for the first stage, a small container which is at N42° 16.XXX W88° 06.XXX. All of the stages have coordinates that start like this.
But wait: You may be able to solve the cartoons without solving the jumbles, but don't. You will need the unscrambled words from the jumble to make sense of the clues you will find at each stage. It is recommended that you bring the solved puzzle with you to the first stage and each subsequent stage.
You should expect to spend more than an hour hunting all the stages of this cache; The beta-testers spent over two hours. You will only find game trails in the wooded sections and the undergrowth can be thick at times.
Enjoy!

You may find it helpful to bring along a calculator for some arithmetic. It would be good if you were familiar with how to use your GPS receiver to perform a projection too!
A stamp is not required, but, if you have one, please bring along your own stamp to mark the logbook and please use the stamp provided in the final container to mark your own book.
