THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!
This cache is part of the Puzzle Caching Series. It was designed to help geocachers practice their puzzle solving skills on different types of puzzles that are commonly used on puzzle caches. Inspiration for this series came from Puzzle Solving 101 Series by epeterso2. If you really want some good puzzle solving tips and practice, I highly recommend that you check out The Puzzle Solving 101 series.
This series originally included 7 puzzle caches that, once solved, provided clues that would lead to a final puzzle cache. The final puzzle cache has been archived, but many of the 7 puzzle caches are still available. All containers are Lock-n-Lock or similar containers which have been camouflaged. The caches are hidden all over Pierce County and can be done with a minimum of 40 miles of driving. The puzzle caches can be done in any order.
This puzzle is a trivia puzzle. For tips on solving trivia puzzles, see Puzzle Solving 101 - Lesson 3: Trivia. For general puzzle solving tips see Puzzle Solving 101 - Lesson 1: Strategy. Both of these cache pages have useful tips and tools for solving puzzle caches similar to this one.
I also want to thank gunguy&fam for beta testing each of the puzzles!
Now... for some fun! Below is a puzzle that, when solved, will reveal the coordinates for a Lock-n-Lock, or similar container, which has been camouflaged to match its surroundings. There is a clue attached to the lid of the container that you will need to find the final cache in the series. Good luck and happy caching!
