I'm not the greatest at puzzle caches - I have a love/hate relationship with them. It's like riding a bicycle, difficult to learn, sometimes embarrassing, but once you get it - it's enjoyable - and every bike is different.
You've probably seen some puzzles that are image based, others text based, or even ciphers. Many of them are easy, but others are difficult! Some crazy puzzles you could spend months on, analyzing old TV shows freeze frame style - pausing during every prime number episode of the office when it shows road signs and adding up the numbers to get a set of coordinates... You may have experienced almost figuring out a puzzle and then having a red herring lead you off your initial assessment to the completely wrong area only to discover in the end that you were right to begin with, but instead you spent hours combing over a picture looking for out of place pixels, or searching through source code, or re-writing one of Shakespeare's sonnets in haiku 7 times. One puzzle I experienced involved an mp3 of white noise that you had to decode using an audio program. Do I need a P.h.d, or two to solve these puzzles??
So, I guess I'm just trying to say that I understand these kinds of puzzles can be frustrating. I started you off correctly, and I threw a red herring in just to try to make it funny. At least, I think it's a red herring? I'm not the best at classification. Maybe this will help:
A new twist on an old classic.
Everything you need to solve this puzzle is on this page.
The final location does not involve any forestry degrees. Making the grab will have to be well timed, or you will look mighty suspicious... Thanks for taking the time to work on my red herring!
