Geocache Description:

Mega-big congratulations to Hamgran for solving all puzzles and getting to the final cache within 24 hours of starting the series! She gets to share the FTF prize of a new set of walkie talkies with Geohunting Jake, who undoubtedly helped out with the tougher puzzles. =)

TeamBCDK and 2aparrs are proud to present: Not Another Simple CAche Run! This is a five-stage puzzle cache that has been designed to challenge even the most seasoned geocacher. Your keen eye and hunting instinct must be matched by your intellect and mental stamina. Newbies, bring a veteran cacher. Veteran cachers, bring your A game!

Okay, enough smack talk. Each cache contains a puzzle which can be solved for your next set of coordinates. Not all stages are equal in terrain/difficulty, so the given ratings reflect the hardest challenges. Caches will vary from micro to size 3.

You will be travelling across the entire city and beyond, so choose an appropriate method of transportation. You may even need to do some research from stage to stage, so be prepared for this outing to last more than one day.

The encrypted hint will give you coordinates for cache #4, but you need to have solved all the clues up to that point.

You may want to print the directions to cache #1 and bring them with you.

Directions to Cache #1:

Disguised unit nestled deep amongst shrubs, yet easily located. Look on widest part of limb.

Easy one? Not for long - I guarantee harder-to-pinpoint accuracy.
