Geocache Description:


This is an Arduino gadget cache located in Lambert park. The park is open daily 6am to 10pm. You must complete a field puzzle to get inside the container and sign the log. If you don't sign the log, you can't log the cache!

The field puzzle consists of a button which acts as a telegraph key, a buzzer to listen to the dots and dashes you create, and an LCD screen which displays your brilliant work. To solve the puzzle and gain entry to the container, you must first unscramble the word below. You can thank my wife Pooh Pooh for the easy word. I wanted something more challenging.

->->->->->->->->->-> ERTE <-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-

Take your unscrambled word to the cache location, which will be pretty easy to find. Now you'll practice your morse code. Use the table below or the example provided in the container to input the morse code dots and dashes for each letter of the word using the magic blue button as a "telegraph key." If you make a mistake, keep going; this infernal machine is just waiting to hear the proper letters in sequence, no matter how many other "S.O.S." transmissions you make. When you correctly complete the word, the door will unlock for five seconds. Please be careful of things that bite, prick, sting, and stick. Also, wear sunscreen and bring water.

Congrats to BubbaJuice and CKmotorka for braving the bitter cold and getting the First to Find!
