Geocache Description:

This field puzzle will require some ingenuity and a bit of searching for the key to unlocking the container. Ample parking is available. The cache is at the listed coordinates.


This cache is a copy of several others that can be found around the USA, the first designed by WVTim. This cache is actually the first cache of this type I found. I really liked it. Now most people like a cache and take the idea. I'm too lazy for that, I actually took the cache. Ask goejrh, he knows. It was his cache:

The Key is the Key, GC5A6HD

Then SmilesCO2 found the container and solved the mystery faster than I did. He did the hiding here.

At the listed coordinates you should encounter the container. 1) Look there and begin the final solution to the puzzle. NOTE: no animals or living trees were harmed by the placement of this puzzle. The correct key to solving the field puzzle is located within 2 feet of the rather obvious container. However while manipulating the container, please refrain from reaching into any area without first CLOSELY checking for wasps, spiders, or snakes. Also, please do not attempt this cache at night as the area is heavily patrolled by 3 different segments of local law enforcement.
