With my 2nd anniversary of Geocaching coming up, I got to reflecting on my first two years of caching.
CONGRATULATIONS!
I found my first Geocache (GCTFPX) on July 17th 2012 @ around 3:50pm cst.
YOU
I looked back at all of my finds and noticed something, I really came to love Puzzle/Mystery hides.
FOUND
There's something about that magical feeling when you get the 'Congratulations!' banner from Evince when your coordinates are verified.
A
I have noticed lots of cachers tend to steer away from Mysteries/Puzzles, but for me it's where it's at.
RED
You get pulled into another cachers world for a bit. Most all puzzles seem to revolve around an interest or hobby the cacher owner is very passionate about. And I love this.
HERRING.
If you ever get frustrated or at wits end, there is always the cache owner or a previous finder just a message away and always happy to assist with as much or as little help as craved.
WELL,
So, long story short, big ups to everyone involved with puzzle caching!
A
And now, time to get your Congratulations! from Evince for this puzzle cache.
WHITE ONE
The process of solving a puzzle can be simple and straightforward or it can be quite a journey.
REALLY.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??
MAYBE IF I TRY LINING THESE NUMBERS UP LIKE THIS?
WELL THAT DOESN'T WORK. GRRRRRR, THIS PUZZLE.
I'LL LIE DOWN FOR A SPELL.. I FEEL LIKE ITS WITHIN REACH.
AND THERE IT IS. CONGRATULATIONS!
THE FEELING.
THE END.
Good luck getting your Evince 'Congratulations!' and happy caching to all you awesome puzzle cachers.
* I also noticed one of my least favorite things in two years of Geocaching would have to be those pesky squeaky awkward skirt lifter types. So, I thought hey why not make this cache one of those. :} But, of course not just your standard one. The logbook is special and was given to me by my best buddy Sci-5, who I led into the world of caching shortly after I started. We have had many awesome adventures in the field and great times getting a Congratulations! here and there. Heres to you Sci-5!
** AS OF 2017, EVINCE HAS PASSED AND IS NO LONGER A COORDINATE CHECKING SERVICE. GEOCHECKER IS NOW THE COORDINATE CHECKER I USE. THE METHOD TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE REMAINS THE SAME. AND I GUESS THIS CACHE IS NOW KIND OF A TRIBUTE TO EVINCE. CONGRATULATIONS! **
***AS OF NOV 2017, NOW GROUNDSPEAK EVEN HAS A COORDINATE CHECKER. BUT IM NOT GOING TO USE IT HERE. I'LL KEEP THIS CACHE PAGE AS A TRIBUTE TO EVINCE AND GEOCHECKER. MAY THEY LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER. CONGRATULATIONS! ***
