Smiley Quest - My Favorites Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

halemeister: I hate to archive this whole series, but the trail these caches were on has changed so much since I placed them almost 2 years ago. I went out to do some maintenance on the whole series and found many of the locations are just impossible to get to. I cannot expect my fellow cachers to endure what I had to go through today in order to get the caches.

Thanks to everyone who had fun with the puzzles and earning the smileys along the smiley quest trail!

Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Smiley Quest. Some, or all of the caches in this series may contain the following requirements in order for you to get to GZ - Climb embankments, go down slopes, or do some bushwhacking. The area can get a little muddy at times, so be prepared for that as well. Bushwhacking was very minimal when I placed the caches, but that could change in the summer months.

I suggest solving all the puzzles within the series before going out and hunting them. Have fun!

This cache is not at the posted coordinates. You'll have to solve the puzzle in order to obtain the correct coords. This cache's difficulty rating comes from a combination of the puzzle and the hide.

To solve this puzzle, you have to take a look the list of caches that I have designated as my favorites. The list will have all the information that you need.

This cache can be found at N42* MY.FAV 089* OR.ITE

Y = The last digit of the day Out Of Sight was hidden.
F = The last digit of the year that Say Cheese was hidden.
