As most of you know, I love going out for FTFs and running into other fellow cachers. The thrill of the pursuit and finding a blank log feels great. And I do it most hours of the day and night. But, it's the camaraderie and friendships that develop that help add value/joy to this hobby/sport. I try to be at my caches when they're published, if I can, but since coming up with a solution and finding the cache may take a while, you will probably not see me at this one. But I hope to run into you out in the field or at an event. These are tedious word searches because I allow letters, numbers and special symbols and especially because of the number of caches in the word search list (50 total), it gets a little crowded when searching for the solution. Some of you that have done my word search puzzles before will notice that I did NOT include the "GC"; part of the Cache Code in order to make it a little bit more difficult. Hence, the difficult rating. These represent my FTFs 501 thru 550. Plus, make sure you include all letters, numbers and symbols in the hidden message as it will prove invaluable when solving the problem. It's a camo'd bison tube that you're looking for. But, it should be fairly easy to locate as it's a typical hiding place. I've added a GeoChecker so you can make sure you've solved it before running out into the field blind. I've decided to submit these word search puzzles in groups of 50, so it's going to be a while until the next one is published.

Congrats for Tubatad for FTF Honors!!
