KIDDIE LITter
Mega-Puzzle Multi-Cache
The Final LITter Box!
This is a multi-stage series of puzzle caches, consisting of
nine preliminary caches and a Final Cache. Each of the ten caches
is listed as a separate cache on
www.geocaching.com. Links to all ten caches can
be found at the bottom of this listing.
Each preliminary cache can be found independently. For each
preliminary cache you find, you will earn access to a jigsaw puzzle
piece. Those nine jigsaw pieces, when put together, form the final
puzzle which, when solved, reveals the location of the Final
Cache.
Good luck!
To find the Final KIDDIE LITter Box, follow the following
steps:
- Find all nine preliminary KIDDIE LITter caches. Note that the
preliminary caches only contain logbooks. (However, all the
containers are large enough to hold some items, so if you want to
place an item in the cache, go ahead!) In addition to logging your
visit, find and record the password written on the inside cover of
the logbook.
- Access the jigsaw pieces associated with and linked from each
preliminary cache. Each jigsaw piece is password protected—use the
password you found on the inside cover of that cache's logbook to
open it. (All the files are in PDF format. To open the puzzles, you
will need Adobe Reader, which is already installed on nearly every
computer in existence these days. But if you happen be one of the
three people in the world to not have it yet, it can be obtained
for free at www.adobe.com.)
| Important Disclaimer! |
| Downloading files from the
www.keepandshare.com links shown (both here and
in the Preliminary Caches) is necessary to obtain details needed to
find this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that these
files are safe to download, although these files have not been
checked by Groundspeak or by the Geocache Reviewer for possible

- Once you have all nine jigsaw pieces, assemble them to reveal
the final puzzle.
-
Click here to access the Final
Puzzle Hint. You will need this hint to solve the final
puzzle. The hint is password protected--the final puzzle
contains instructions on how to obtain the password. (The
password is merely a means to prove that you have indeed found
all nine preliminary caches.)
- Solve the final puzzle.
- Find the Final Cache!
You'll notice that the cache container and the original swag all
follow a theme. In addition to swag, a logbook, and an FTF prize,
the Final Cache contains your completion certificate for a job well
done! Be sure to show off to all your jealous fellow cachers by
posting a photo of you presenting your certificate to, well, you!
(Just make sure you do so with a photo background which doesn't
give any clues as to the cache location!
)
| Important Note for Claiming "First To Find"! |
| To get credit for being "First to Find", there is one
additional thing you need to do: This cache series has been created
as a memorial to a recently departed member of my family. A picture
and more info about that loved one is included with the log book.
To prove you found the cache, mention the first name of that family
member in your log entry here. |
Hints:
There are no hints for this puzzle available at this time, other
than those in the www.geocheck.org successful puzzle solution
messages, and the password-protected hint described above.
Once someone--anyone--has successfully found this cache, I will
be very willing to give out many more hints to this puzzle, and any
other puzzles or trivia questions in this series. Just send me a
message, let me know which puzzle(s) you're stuck on, and how
revealing you want the hint to be!
GOOD LUCK!!!

One last note: The difficulty rating on this puzzle itself is
definitely not "4.0". However, I have rated the entire cache as
such because of the other puzzles/caches needing to be solved/found
before finding this one, and their combined difficulty. If the
other caches were not involved, I would have rated this about
"3.0".

"Puzzle Solving 101" series.
It has many superb puzzles, and teaches you many handy
techniques for solving geocache puzzles along the way! The
caches in that series are located in South Florida--but even if
you have no plans to travel there, the cache owner also
established a way for remote solvers to log a find of a virtual
travel bug if they solve all the puzzles in the
series! |
