Things that start with the letter S Mystery Cache

Things that start with S. Or things that say “Ssss.” Regardless of how you slice it, this puzzle cache requires snake (indigenous to Michigan) identification. All of these characters can be found in the wild as you search for caches.

Thankfully, there is only one venomous snake in our state (the one pictured in X).

There’s an additional puzzle step, but that’s the nature of puzzles!

Special thanks to James Harding from the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University, who granted permission to use his pictures for this puzzle cache.
