Geocache Description:

There is nothing at the posted coordinates!



What inspired this geocache:

  • Most geocachers have good geosense so we sought to challenge a different sense.
  • Much like other Monkeyspin geocaches we wanted a little puzzling and a little adventuring to be involved.

The result:  A puzzle cache about your sense of taste!


Desk Puzzle


I gnaw what you’re thinking. You’ll just munch through this puzzle and grind your way to the cache. Mawbe you will, but eat won’t be easy. If you fail don’t badmouth, get flippant or feel demoralized. It’s jawst how it goes.


All you have to do is match the number of the flavor to the food!

3 = Sweet
4 = Salt
5 = Sour
6 = Bitter
7 = Umami/Savory

Notes

  • No parking waypoint is provided, but there are plenty of parking options if you take a look at a map before you head out.
  • Be sure to bring your own pen.
  • Bring tweezers too (just in case the log is snug in the final).  I have attached a tweezer like tool to the cache because the log is snug in the final, but I can't guarantee it will always be there.

 

Have fun and happy caching!
