Geocache Description:

I thought that I'd do a few larger containers so that some SWAG can be traded, a little more kid-friendly. I was inspired by one geocaching family who said that the kids really liked the toys, so I combined this as fun-for-adults/loaded-with-toys-for-kids, so that everyone's happy. Of the three puzzles being released into the wild today, this one is the toughest and requires careful handling. Handle gently please!


Getting to and finding the outer cache container is less than 1/2 the battle with this puzzling cache. Once you've opened the outer container, I'd suggest that you work out the puzzle on a level surface in your car. Best to park your car along the curb on the northeast corner of Roeben and Tulare Ave (parking on Roeben). As you work to solve the puzzle in order to get the inner container open, please be careful with the puzzle box, it requires a little bit of finesse and some slight wiggling on your part might be necessary in order to coax the bottom of the box to slide down and open the container.

Be sure that you extend each wooden dowel all the way and that the answer spells out the correct solution. After signing the log, please replace both containers as you found them and reset the dowels to a neutral position.
