Sometimes it's a numbers game Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

TurtleFan: This was the last cache I ever placed. It took several back-and-forths to get approved for no good reason. I left the game soon after altogether. Too much drama for something that is supposed to be fun. I moved on to Ingress and Munzee. I kept the friends, but not the drama.

Geocache Description:

The cache is *not* at the listed coordinates, but it is nearby. The difficulty rating refers to the final find, not the puzzle. The puzzle is likely not an easy one.

At last year's (2011) Holiday Coffee House Social and Gift Exchange hosted by PiD and Steinie, Santa gave out ready-made cache containers with the request that we hide them soon. Thus this cache was born. (I did hide it soon, but it took a while to get this published.)

Some people in the area seem to like puzzles, right? Okay, I can play along. I have no idea how difficult this one is (feel free to suggest altered ratings), I just came up with it one day. As long as you follow the directions correctly and don't let the challenging parts of it get you down, you should be fine. On that note, all the information you need is right here on this page. I suspect this one may be tough and I'll consider adding hints after the FTF. Enjoy!
