Geocache Description:

***CONGRATS TO FISHINGKITTY FOR THE FTF*** Update 3/8/23–came out to check on Shorty and decided to put in a simple field puzzle to add to the adventure. The answer is in the original description below. You may have to read it a couple of times but you will soon notice what you need to do to gain entry to the log so you can get that 😎

There are really 2 field puzzles here....the first one is getting the log out of it's hidey-hole. Don't force it please. It will slide out when you get it turned the right way.  The second is figuring out how to get the log so you can sign it. 

 

My bes college buddy’s dad passed away recently and his service was today. He was an adventurer and he would have loved cac ing if he had known about it. He t aveled the world ov r…in one y ar he went to 34 different countries. He had a sly sense of hum r and a dry with. I loved him a d decided he ne ded a cache dedicated to him. He had 3 brothers and one ister who called him Shorty—among other th ngs!😂 I don’t live in Abilene now buy my mom and dad do I can maintain the cache when I’m in town but should maintenance be needed pronto, just holler. My mom will run over here and get it fi ed it in a flash. Happy caching, yall!
