The difficulty rating is somewhat arbitrary. Feedback from experienced puzzlers is appreciated.

Update 10/29/08: Increased difficulty based on feedback. Also, while a canny puzzler may be able to do this one by only visiting the final, you will find one other real world spot to be rewarding.

This cache is in honor of The Rat and all he's done for the local caching community.
