Geocache Description:

To the dismay of many, some of us love puzzles. Some to the point that we solve them for fun when the snow is falling or we can't get out.
Congratulations to 4CeasonS for being the FTF.

Cache is a camo'd container in Dartmouth, bring a writing stick. Have fun, and happy caching.
