Connections Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

greenwoodturner: Went back to check on this one today. The area is being developed for housing, and it really doesn't seem like they want people back there just now. Cache is either gone or buried .. hard to tell. Opting to archive this one, since it is unclear when the area will open back up .. and where we would even hide it!

Geocache Description:

This is the 12th in a series of new Team GreenWoodTurner puzzles! These puzzles will not be micros in the woods, nor will they simply require you to Google a bunch of useless information. Instead, you will need to grab a pencil and some paper, and use the old noggin! We encountered this puzzle while preparing for a geocaching trip. We hope you enjoy it too!

I owe a debt of gratitude to PhilNi, who was kind enough to allow us to duplicate yet another of his rather novel puzzles.

The coordinates listed on the cache page are not correct, so don't go there! Instead, you must first solve a puzzle, in order to obtain the real coordinates. We've included a coordinate checker so that you can verify your answer. You are looking for a camoed peanut butter jar. The coordinate checker will provide you with a nice spoiler photo, which should make this an easy find ... after all, the challenge was meant to be the puzzle ... not the hide.

The initial cache contents include a variety of our personal pathtags, and marks the inaugural release of our latest commemorative pathtag.
