This puzzle has a hidden message to reveal the true coordinates of the cache location as the coords posted are not the actual coords because they point to the middle of the soccer field. This is a tedious word searche because I allow letters, numbers and special symbols and especially because of the number of caches in the word search list (106 total). It gets a little crowded when searching for the solution, so I've added a FTF prize. Plus, make sure you include all letters, numbers and symbols in the hidden message as it will prove invaluable when solving the problem. This is the reason for the 2.5 difficulty. If you're not first, then at least you've earned a smiley for your efforts.
As most of you know, I love going out for FTFs and running into other fellow caches. The thrill of the pursuit and finding a blank log feels great. And I do it most hours of the day and night. But, it’s the comaraderie and friendships that develop that help add value/joy to this hobby/sport. I try to be at my caches when they’re published, if I can, but since coming up with a solution and finding the cache may take a while, you will probably not see me at this one. But I hope to run into you out in the field or at an event. The cache is within arms reach and only about 3ft off the path. There is NO need to do any bushwacking. I mean it.
When I hid this cache, there was no small creek flowing next to the path. But since the recent rain, one has been created and can be a little soggly. There are some thorns nearby, but not at the cache, which is within arms reach. Good Luck.
I’ve added a GeoChecker so you can make sure you’ve solved it before running out into field blind. Good Luck.
