Geocache Description:


This puzzle cache is the final/ bonus in a series designed to get you out of the house in da EUP winter time. The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates, you MUST visit seven of the other eight caches first and get a clue from each one to solve the puzzle for the final cache. One of the eight caches has a redundant clue and is not needed for the final. (But, which one?)

This is a series of eight caches (Ski da EUP, eh?), each with a clue. Visit them all (?), collect the clues and unlock the mystery of the 9th bonus cache. Each cache (except the bonus cache) is on a designated cross country ski trail, so wax up your skis and head for the woods! Every cache is situated about 1/2 mile from the designated parking area for the trail, and you will not have to bushwhack more than 100 feet off the trail. None of the trails are difficult, at least to get to the cache, and the cache is not hard to find. I will tell you this; the cache is hanging in a tree or stump, you will not have to dig for it. Each cache (except the bonus) is a small box for trading items. Not all trails are regularly groomed or used, so you may be making tracks on the way in. Snowshoes are discouraged on ski trails, but will be tolerated if you stay OFF the ski tracks. The 2/2 difficulty is only by the need for skis; the trail is pretty much flat.

This cache series may be disabled after the snow is gone.

This bonus cache is on private property with permission and cooperation of the land owner, don't be shy. No need to bring trade items, but we have a nice gift for you to enjoy at home, back on your couch.

Use the clues you have found at the previous caches in the series to solve the puzzle...

Congratulations to Captainshark32 for being first to complete the series, snow shoeing nearly 7 miles and driving hundreds all in one day! The Captain & Mrs. Shark are indeed the Masters of the EUP ski trails... now they just need some skis :-) Thanks for getting off da couch, eh!
