The Philosophical Bear Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mesia: I've confirmed that not only the cache but the entire host tree has gone missing. Given how much the area has changed, and because this was a unique cache container, it's time to archive. Planning to return though with a new hide for this patch of woods!

Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the posted coordinates!

I got this really cool cache container while on vacation with the family. When I saw it, I knew that I had to create a puzzle to go with it. So I wanted to put it somewhere special and I thought a quiet little park would be perfect - where you can walk and think about the beauty of nature. You may want to bring tweezers. Please take care with the container and replace as found. Thanks!

The below puzzle contains two hidden quotes drawn from the same source, with the spaces for each letter in the quotes (along with punctuation) laid out in a typical crossword puzzle-type black and white grid. Above each column are a series of letters. "Drop" each letter into the appropriate empty spaces in each row and column to reveal the hidden quotes. However, each column also has one extra letter that doesn't fit into the quotes. Once you've solved the puzzle, read those extra unused letters from left to right to get an instruction; complete that instruction in the way suggested by the quotes' author and you'll have a ten-letter one-word final answer. Enter that into the geochecker to receive the cache coordinates and parking coordinates.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
