LEGO Studs Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoElmo6000: Three and a half years is a good run for this puzzle cache. When I first submitted this cache for publication, the reviewers wouldn't let me call it "LEGO Studs"; it was deemed "too commercial"! :-) Thankfully, after two years, I was able to get the name changed to what I originally intended the puzzle name to be.

Ever since the tree the container was hidden in fell down, I've thought about archiving this cache. The original hint referring to being five feet up changed to "I've fallen and I can't get up!" :-) The container was still in play, and people kept finding it, so I let the puzzle continue.

At this point, the container is gone, as verified by Team DEMP, and I really have no interest in placing a new cache container for a puzzle whose longevity was already winding down. My apologies to anyone who solved this puzzle but didn't get to claim the find. I have several new puzzles out, so please check those out instead.

Thank you to the 40+ people who solved and found this cache, and the others who solved the puzzle and didn't get to find it, for your interest in this puzzle. I had fun putting this one together.

Geocache Description:

I wanted to create another puzzle cache based on a great location I found. I had some trouble creating a good puzzle, until I got some help.

"Geocaching sounds great!" said my friend Zach, after I explained the concept and the location of the final. "Someday I'll try geocaching, but for now, I'll create a great puzzle for you."

Zach left and, after a couple minutes, came back with the following items on a big board.

"What are these supposed to be?" I asked.

"Trust me, these will bring the other geocachers to the location of the final. I hope they like the puzzle!" answered Zach.

"So do I," I commented, scratching my head and trying to figure out what they had to do with geocaching.

Can YOU figure this out? The following are the four items I was given:


Puzzle part 1


Puzzle part 2


Puzzle part 3


Puzzle part 4

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Per the rules of geocaching, a Found It log must correspond to a signed logbook.

Happy caching!
