One day after work recently, I realized it might be fun to pick up a cache on the way home, as I had the opportunity to keep a little mini-caching streak going. Don't laugh now, but I managed to keep the stretch going for all of 11 days before breaking it the day we had six inches of heavy, wet snow. (April 23rd 
)
The whole thing got me thinking about kablooey, a California cacher who has made a geocache find every day since made a geocache find every day between July 16, 2003 and September 12, 2013. Honest.
But that is just one of his claims to fame, and not actually the one that constantly has me asking "How does he do that?!" My first kablooey experience occurred in January, 2011, when I announced my intention to place a puzzle cache each month. Ithacadoodle suggested I check out this guy who has been doing a competitive monthly puzzle challenge series for several years.
Being way too competitive for my own good, I got hooked on the puzzles (which have inspired several other similar series across the country, including one as close as Rochester, NY) and spent many hours of puzzling fun on them. I was thrilled when as a FTS reward he placed a puzzle cache here in Ithaca (which I maintain for him).
The thing that is so great about his puzzles is that they are clever, logical, and you can often tell that they took not only a cool idea, but a great deal of research and planning to create. Seeing the coordinates come together, you can only ask yourself, "How does he do that?!"
Some day I'd like to construct a puzzle that would actually require solving some of his great puzzles. For this cache the coordinates can be achieved from the following information:
