All the containers in this series are similar as well as the hides. Neither the puzzles nor the hides should be too difficult although some will be more challenging than others. Those that want a real challenge can attempt to find at least 50 puzzles on the same day and can qualify for the Very Puzzling Day Challenge, GC4GTY0.

One issue every geocacher runs into at some point is ticks. And boy have they been out this year. I've had ticks on me from at least four states and it seems like most weekends of caching I find at least one crawling on my jeans. I almost always wear jeans when I go out caching. Shorts just don't do the job when there's tall grass, thorny vines or anything else itchy, poky or scratchy. This past weekend when I got back to my car my pants were covered with more ticks than I've seen this year. I took a closeup photo of my jeans to share with my geocaching friends. See if you can count all the ticks. I lost count myself. North 38 5A.BCD, West 96 1E.FGH.
