Answer the questions and
off you go
Weird heads on a table
Blue tower of Babel
Prop without a plane
Peaceful country lane

Or Beaverboro - even
more fun!
Almost down to Tigard
The CO knowingly
sniggered
Consider this a
cooperation puzzle
So if you find you're in
a huzzle
Phone a friend or
message a caching mate
"I've got seven.
Trade for eight?"
And lest you think I'm a
(curse word)
I do know that it's
"Tie-gurd"!
So solve the puzzle and
ditch the couch!
Stop this rhyming - it's
one big Ouch!
Translation:
The 16 photos below
may put a crush on your memory. If you've spent much time here,
you've probably seen most or all of them. But, where??
When you've identified
each photo's location, answer the associated question. Google Earth
should be very helpful, and don't forget about Street View.
If you are a taxi cab
driver or VERY active geocacher, you may know all of these sites. More
likely, some you won't be sure of. Thus, consider this a teamwork puzzle.
Feel free to contact your caching friends and trade an answer or two with them.
Or, if you've solved it, and are feeling generous, help someone who is still
struggling. Don't give away too much - it is still a puzzle after all.
I took all the photos in
the west Portland metro area. All but three are visible as you drive by.

Seawind Quality Conrrol Programme
All Seawind caches are created,
located and placed with constant attention to the pinnacle of quality.
Your participation in this short survey of your experiences is greatly
appreciated!
Survey (your responses always
unanimous)
These questions pertain only to the
final cache itself and NOT the puzzle (the perfection of which is beyond
question).
1. My overall experience with finding
the cache and signing the log can best be described as:
A - Exceptional
B - Outstanding
C - Perfect in every aspect
D - A truly wonderful adventure
2. I encountered no Muggles at the
cache site (based on a visit time of Sunday morning at 2:35 AM):
__ True
3. The cache itself is (check at
least five):
__ Remarkably original
__ In pristine condition
__ Nice and dry
__ One that I will always remember
__ Incredibly well constructed
4. The drive home through the
Columbia River Gorge was one of the most scenic I have ever experienced:
__ True
5. The oxygen density at the
cache site was somewhat uncomfortable:
__ False
6. The scenic value of the cache
location, with a view, only seven miles away, of the city skyline and Mt. Hood,
is unsurpassed.
__ True
7. On a scale of one to ten, with one
being "the best ever" and ten being even better, how would you rate the
originality of the cache container and its location?
8. Thinking about some other cacher's
puzzle (which was insolvably flawed) and the Altoid tin cache final full of
water with saturated log stuck in the sign at the smelly fast food joint in the
worst part of town (where the manager came out and yelled at you just after you
stepped in something that YOUR dog didn't produce [your dog being occupied with
biting a customer]) that you recently found, just prior to your GPS receiver
falling into a sewer grate followed by your cell phone and car keys as you
attempted in vain to retrieve it, and logged (and had your log deleted by the
cache owner claiming you hadn't signed the piece of pulp in the cache), how does
this infinitely superior puzzle and cache compare?
9. Drag the slider to indicate
whether you will recommend this cache to others:
█--------------------------------------------------
Definitely--------Maybe--------Not a chance
10. This cache is so fantastic, that
I not only gave it a Favorite Point, but also set up phony user accounts and
logged a bunch of phony finds, all to give it even more points!
