Geocache Description:

A Puzzle Cache along the PTC Multi-use path. 

T aequalis 0


This is my first Puzzle Cache along the cart path in Peachtree City.  It is done in honor of The Far Side comic strip/books by Gary Larson, that I found so ​funny years ago, before I retired. Since retirement, my wife & I have traveled all over this beautiful country and enjoyed freshwater fishing in a number of states, before settling down in Peachtree City, GA. The great puzzle solvers in this area will make quick work of this one, I'm sure, but hopefully it will be enjoyable.  The physical cache is NOT​ at the posted coordinates.  To find the Final Stage, you must first solve the puzzle included on this cache page. Container is in a High Muggle Area so please use geo-stealth. The final container is a small Lock & Lock with a log & a couple of small items, including a couple of dollar coins for the FTF. BYOP and Enjoy !!!

FTF Honors go to: Kunarion

Could there be a Clupea harengus rubeum on this page? All the info needed can be found on 2 Wiki websites.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.



NOTICE: Container has been moved app. 15 ft. south due to possible Yellow Jacket nest app. 30 ft. north. Only approach this container from the south and with care. Do not attempt to access this location from the north. Several photos of the container location and parking area are in the Gallery and the CO strongly advises all cachers to view them before attempting this one, especially in warm months. There should be no reason to go further north (towards Highway 54) than the container location ( 4 tree trunks close together). Attempting this cache should be done with extreme caution and at you own risk.
