Stage 1 is at posted coordinates!!
This is not a cache and dash.
This is a 3 mile loop hike on SGL. It is meant to be fun and enjoyable. A 4 stage cache with a physical puzzle at 3 of the stages with the final being a Loc-n-Loc. You will be on trails the entire hike, only leaving the trail to retrieve stages. Hope you enjoy the hike and challenge!
All puzzles are custom built. If they get lost, stolen, or damaged this cache will lose a stage or be archived. Please be considerate of future cachers. I would advise you to take a towel or blanket for a work area at the stage puzzles.
Enough of the fine print, the cache:
Cubes, dounuts, and dials. Those are the things you are working with. The first 2 puzzles should be self explanatory. The third you need a hint/help/password to open. Answer this riddle for the thrid stage:
Don't forget your answer, you will need it!
What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
I used a 25 letter alphabet so if your answer uses an I or J it will be represented by a J. That may or may not be a hint.
Please wear Orange during hunting season.
I know that there are other closer parking coordinates but if you want to end close to your vehicle you better use the ones provided. Trailheads are given to minimize bushwacking.
