Geocache Description:


Blue Moon Burgers from 4-5pm

I find that I struggle with many puzzle caches. Either I look at the post and figure out fairly quickly how to move forward or I stare at the screen and have no clue what to do. I don't personally know any other geocachers and thought it would be fun to plan a social event for trying to solve some puzzles collectively, plus put faces to the usernames I see online. Anyone is welcome -- both those who find themselves struggling to solve puzzle caches (like me) and those who breeze through or even create the hardest puzzle caches out there. I'm open to working on or helping with any, but thought that suggesting a few to get started might be helpful. The COs of the following have approved groups working on their puzzles for this event:

1) GC2ANM5 -- Small Park, Big Number by rodgowdy

3) GC4XAK7 -- Garbled Message by Camp Latona

4) GC44K5Q -- Solve for X by marshall.md

The location for the event is Blue Moon Burgers, from 4-5pm. I picked this location for several reasons. It's close to HQ, so hopefully some Lackey's will join in. They have wifi service, which might be important for puzzle solving. They offer food and drinks, including both draft and bottled beer. It's also near most of the puzzles I find myself struggling with.

 

In the event there isn't enough space or things need to be moved, I confirmed that the Fremont Library is open until 6pm on Wednesdays. It is listed in this cache description as an alternate waypoint.
