Quagmeijer Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Allen Cachers: I stopped by to check on our cache today while out doing some Spring cache maintenance. There is currently quite a homeless encampment near GZ, so I decided it is time to archive this one, even though it is one of my favorites. The cache has been removed.

Thanks to everyone who has completed the puzzle and found this cache!

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. However, the posted coordinates are a good place to start your adventure.

Cole's Zesty Garlic Bread - 16oz

Morning Star Farms Chik'n Nuggets - 10.5oz
Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese Sauce - 10oz

The location of this puzzle cache is open 24 hours a day, but we don't necessarily recommend finding the final cache at night. The "terrain" of this particular Quagmeijer can be very difficult to navigate at certain times of the day, especially on weekends and prior to holidays.

We would be happy to give out hints on the puzzle if you need them (and we promise not to tell anyone that we gave you a hint).

We admit that we borrowed the idea for the puzzle from a cache in the Grand Rapids area. We had a lot fun with the version in Grand Rapids, and thought that Lansing area cachers deserved a version of their own.

We previously had a similar puzzle cache in Haslett, but we were forced to archive that cache when the puzzle location closed. As a result of that closing, we will (unfortunately) be spending more time in the Quagmeijer.

Congrats to Pianodan on being First to Find!

Some cachers have reported the cache being a little south of the final coords. We have also seen that the north coord sometimes differs when we visit the cache. So, if you don't spot the cache right away, try subtracting 0.002 or 0.003 from the north coords.
