Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates. The coordinates are at the entrance to the Morton Arboretum. And while the arboretum is a wonderful place to visit, the cache is not on the grounds of the arboretum. It's not far, though...less than a mile. To find the coordinates of the cache, you'll need to solve the puzzle below. BYOP.


I recently passed my one-year caching anniversary. Every once in a while during the past year, I've spent time looking back at my time spent caching, to reflect on all the fun I've had. Naturally, this occasion prompted me to do so again. So I browsed through my finds history, looking back at all the fun hides, the puzzles, the tree climbs, the bushwhacks, the nice walks in the woods or along a bike path, caching with the mini-dingbat, with my wife, with great new friends I've made over the past 12 months, coming home with soaked boots and burrs, coming back to work from "lunch" picking twigs out of my hair, and washing sap off my hands...etc etc etc. 

And as I look back, everything I see adds up to a fantastic year. So I wanted to put a cache out there to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to my fun year, and especially to you puzzle creators whose creations have consumed so much of my time. This one's for you. Thanks everyone. Don't forget to look back every once in a while, and see what your list of finds adds up to at the end.

 

Oh, so here's your puzzle.
