Geocache Description:

DO NOT GO TO THE GIVEN COORDINATES.  SOLVE THE PUZZLE IN THE PARAGRAPH BELOW TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT COORDINATES FOR THE HIDE.  As always, please use good judgment while geocaching.  Please replace the cache as you found it, unless you believe it was stowed other than it was meant to be.  Attractions near GZ include a creek, playground, tables, grill, rock formations (not to climb!).  Beware of dog poop!


Yosemite, July 4th, even emery files we share naturally enough.

Pliers and climate and tranquility to keep to ourselves would be absurd (and tough).

Recreation, speech, and Chicago we must not be selfish about,

And not sharing our nationhood, bananas, and cabanas might make others pout.

Wine, buns, and, alas, sentimentality are best enjoyed with others, don’t you agree?

And the Berkshires, birdwatching, certainly fireworks, too, are savored best in company.

Catsup and sensuousness we easily share, and our tension, ineluctably, too.

Unshared, a beach or hobby, even our own childhood, we’d rue!

Houses, oranges, and tofu—share them or feel blah!

So too friends and gifts and coffee, n’est-ce pas?


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congratulations to Nylimb of (quite appropriately!) EUREKA, California, for First to SOLVE, JAB430 for First LOCAL Cacher to SOLVE, and Hixon and son Rungo for First to FIND!

Because forces I cannot identify seem to have conspired against this cache placement, I've moved it, so after you've solved the puzzle and entered your solution into Certitude, you'll need to use offsets to actually find the cache: BE SURE TO ENTER YOUR SOLVED COORDINATES INTO CERTITUDE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE OFFSETS.
