This year I decided to publish a puzzle series. No Love for the Lonely is the fifth cache on the "Tour de Borst". The series consists of five puzzle caches that contain clues for the final, which is also a puzzle. All the puzzles have multiple stages and none are park & grabs. Approximate distance is given for each cache in the series. There are also some easy bonus cache coordinates that can be found in the final. All caches are placed on public land. There is no need to trespass on any private property. Also, please take it easy on the environment. There is no need to tear anything apart. Please BYOP..
As always, use caution when hunting this cache. Please heed the terrain rating and know your limits. Also, be mindful of poison ivy, thorns, ticks and mosquitoes.
Difficulty rating involves both solving the puzzle and dealing with any trickery in the hides. I reserve the right to change the difficulty based on feed back from finders, DNFs or people who cannot solve the puzzle. Terrain rating based on ClayJar rating system on geocaching. com. There isn't a real trail system in this area so you may have to blaise your own path to where you need to go.
To get the final coordinates, simply solve the puzzle below to find the coordinates for stage one. A coordinate checker is included for your convenience and my entertainment. Remember to record the information found in the final. You will need it to find the last cache in the series.
The idea came for this cache when I was returning from a caching trip. I had completed a long, well planned multi. It took me through a great area and had many interesting hides. Although I had a great time, I was saddened that this type of hide is routinely ignored by many geocachers. To that end, I thought I would place a cache that is dedicated to all the great but lonely caches. Sometimes great caches just don't get the love they deserve. "No Love for the Lonely".
No hugs and kisses either...
