Geocache Description:




--the puzzle is contained below--

the cache is -not- at posted coords.
please do not go there as it's very dangerous to
climb on the freeway or in the middle of telegraph.


i've been told that i tend to be very wordy with things, whether it be in-person or in some of my cache-page descriptions. well, that is true...and i know it. i decided to use this talent of mine to create something that hopefully will be fun for those that enjoy some of my other cache-related work.

that being said, For a long time i wanted to make a cache that would be enjoyed by my friends as well as added to the ranks of the caches that are Better than just plain ol' park-n-grab caches.

this Has been a goal of mine for awhile...and i keep trying to add to my List of hides and make better and better ones as time goes on. i place one here...i create a puzzle there.... i continue to work on things to hone my skills with caching and being a better contributor to this game that do i love so much as well as many of my friends love too.

i've placed Caches across metro detroit, as well as added some in canada, and the hides are now being Balanced a bit more than they were when i started, of course....some hard...some easy....some better.

the puzzles are getting a bit more challenging and devious...and sometimes when i feel inVigorated in creating a cache or two, i have some assistance in the form of my better-half, who gives me many insights when i'm creating something new. whether it be a hint, an idea, or just a better way of making it look, or even in wording it. i just hope all of my caching friends (even ones i haven't met yet) will be able to have some eXtra fun with it.

my lovely paradiZ has even said i should take-away a cache from one spot and place it somewhere else...just because its a better fit in that new spot as well as be a better find for everyone to have fun with.

we will see how this goes and gauge the reaction that everyone has. i can't wait to see how many cachers figure out this puzzle and enjoy this little group of words and Fun that i've created with and for my friends.

--the puzzle is contained above--

 final: n42° 22.____ w083° 16.____

...and a checker.... just for fun

March 22, 2014:

After many questions regarding this puzzle, and much thinking (and probably OVER
thinking), by other cachers since this one was released in November 2013,
i decided to add the primary questions that have been asked  into the
description in order to help those that may still be bugged by this puzzle.

Lets just call it a little clarification on some things. 

Hopefully, it will allow some folks to be able to sleep at night.

Ready?

All of the capital letters equal numeric values that are required to solve.
These numeric values may, or may not, be part of Geocaching.
(Yes, i do other fun things besides Geocaching)

You must read the the description in order to be able to make the solve.
This is wordy...for a reason and you must read it.
This may require you to think outside the Geocaching box.

The colors are part of the creativity and flavor of the text
and are only part of the puzzle to make it colorful.

Yes, the cache is within the borders of the state of Michigan
and is not on or in another planet, country, state, or province.

No, my beautiful PaRaDiZ does not know how this is solved and
does not know how this puzzle was assembled or created.

Is it solveable?  To me, yes.
But...i created it...
and i understand how it works.

I reformatted how the text is shown, but no other
editing of the original actual puzzle-text was done.

January 19, 2015 update
After fielding several questions from folks that have attempted this, including the caching-
pair that actually solved and located the actual container, I will give a little nudge on this.
There were MANY MANY pages of scribble that i was sent, and any and all hints that were
given are the SAME EXACT hints that i've given to anyone else that has asked.
Those hints were then later included in this write-up for everyone to have the hint.

NUDGE
Everything is in the puzzle portion of the page that you need, EXCEPT one thing that may, or may not,
be part of Geocaching.  This ONE THING is a popular thing, and something that i also enjoy on a daily,
or almost-daily basis.

There are several area cachers that also enjoy this activity and since i've mentioned that to them,
I also offer this hint to the caching-community as well, to be fair to everyone.

Hope this helps.


As with any geocache, the fun is in the hunt...not necessarily the actual container.

I'm willing to offer helpful hints where i can, to those that ask.

Have fun!
