Geocache Description:


While working on a fellow cacheRs LEnawee County puzzle cache I got a great iDea for one of my own. On the way to Hide his cache hE must have lost his toolbox (again). I stumbled upon it today and decided the toolbox would make a gReat cache containeR but I Needed to take his tools hostaGe to persuade him to give me more hints, so you won't find them in there.

I enjoyed making this puzzle so much that I'm not sure I will be able to resist the temptation to get a smiley on it myself some day.

All of this foofaraw can be found here... Secret Codez

Warning by following the above link you are subjecting yourself to BIG HINTZ that may spoil the puzzle. If you read those hints i predict the puzzle will be solved fairly shortly.by sometime this year no doubt!
