Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coordinates
(like you'd try swimming there!)
Container is just a little bigger than a film canister.

For over a year I've been enjoying the fun of caching.
Only a few times have the caches been a less than enjoyable experience.
Realizing how much I like puzzle caches left me set some up too. This is the third puzzle/mystery cache I have placed. You probably enjoy them too, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

This is my latest attempt at stumping some of the puzzle solvers out there.

When you find the coordinates for this one, you will need the coords checker to verify them. Only a small amount of effort is required for you to find them.
For those that do not find the coordinates after some effort, feel free to email me for a hint.

"On with the puzzle" you may be saying about now, enough of the rambling.
Rest assured, the clues are available in this listing. Two, three or more attempts may be needed to uproot them, but take your time. You can find them if you keep chipping away at it. Every one of you has the tools available to find the coordinates.

I don't know how long it would take me to solve this one. Good thing I don't have to, but you do if you want the cache.

Having said that, I have a request for those that solve it. Take time to write a little story in your online logs to share your experience. Don't share any spoilers in those logs though. Each person who solves this should have the experience of the solve themselves.
All of you know fun of the "ah-ha" moment in solving a puzzle. Don't take that experience away from another cacher.

Enough of this. Now go and solve this puzzle. Dig in and figure it out!
