Geocache Description:

Another fun puzzle added to my growing series around town.  This series is designed to make you think outside the box and introduce you to the variety of ways puzzles can be made! 

Congrats to Memfis Mafia for a well-earned FTF! 2 months and 4 days after release, he found the cache and the FTF prize!


Moose love puzzles!  We enjoy creating them, and we enjoy solving them!  These puzzles are designed to introduce you to various ways puzzles can be done, so I hope you learn something in the process! 

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates.  These coordinates are given as a dummy set, so you will have to solve the puzzle below to figure it out!  This puzzle may be known to some, and unknown to others, but it is not the hardest puzzle out there.  I hope you enjoy it as it was fun to create!

Once upon a time, Moose flew upon a plane!  Moose don't normally fly so it was an interesting experience!  The plane was one of those large (747) types of planes!  It had its own restrooms, snacks, drinks, and plenty of two-legged creatures to converse with.  Not many knew the language of the "MOOSE" but some did, so he had a great time anyways!  One of the stewardesses knew the language of the moose so they conversed about life, the universe, and everything, and came up with an ending of 42.  This was sufficient for Moose as he enjoyed conversing about the many things life has to offer and he fell in love with the stewardess.  They went on to have children with 10-digit antlers and made their families proud!  I hope you can call yourself a moose fan after this story!

Additional Information:

Keep in mind this is a puzzle, its supposed to help you think outside the box. Some are easier than others, but everything you need to know to solve this puzzle is in the story above, there is no hidden information.

There are only 4 pieces of information you will use to solve this puzzle. There are 3 clues you will use to find the final coordinates, and one that tells you how to use them.

The plane is important.

Every word, number, and punctuation in the story is where it should be, and HOW it should be. I did not make any mistakes; especially with the punctuation, I just really like exclamation marks!

You will need an additional TOTT to find the cache, however I can guarantee that 99.9% of geocachers have it.

The plane flew to Los Angeles

Once someone has found the cache, I may add more "hints" to help others, and will gladly share more information via email to those who want it. As more hints are added, I may lower the difficulty.

There is a deactivated Puzzler achievement TB for FTF.
