Geocache Description:


Cache Owner NOTE:

After 400+ puzzle cache placements, this puzzle cache is my last PEI puzzle. Fittingly, it’s a damn tough puzzle (not mine) in an equally tough location. Many thanks to all the cachers who’ve solved and found my puzzles over the years — some original ones and many more borrowed and acknowledged from others through whom I learned something new and enjoyed that “ah-ha” moment and danced along with Homer on Certitude. I’ve tried to provide puzzles that have fit into one or both of the following categories: (1) something simply fun and neat to do (2) puzzles that might teach you something new in the way of puzzling and geocaching that you weren’t aware of before. At the very least, maybe they gave you something to work on during our Canadian winters!

Thanks, too, to my loyal & helpful fellow puzzlers: ekumseekum, TeamBikeFast, 7TNT, boston brewins, boots2015, flipup & monbon13, hirtle, adam, 4CeasonS and pea0001.

Background

I subscribe to the "Geocaching Puzzle of the Day" blog (click) where I receive a new puzzle cache to solve each day. I also troll Groundspeak (click) for interesting puzzle to try and solve, and maybe adapt for releases on the Island. Bottom line -- I end up solving some very interesting puzzle caches that I'll never get the chance to visit or adapt for one reason or another (puzzle won't work for local coords, graphics too hard to duplicate, etc). Then I recalled an interesting "Tribute Series" from NB's jim52 where he simply had you solve another cacher's puzzle to get the coordinates for a locally placed cache! The original puzzle CO gets the recognition (scorn?) for his/her creativity and you get the and exposure to a great puzzle -- win-win! Soooo, welcome to the Kudos Series where I pay tribute to someone else's great puzzle caches. I take no credit other than having solved them, often with the help of others -- as you may end up doing, too!

NOTE

Difficulty rating is based on original CO's rating; Terrain rating is based on local cache placement, as is the hint.
The old Nimrod was unable to solve this one, but geobuddy hirtle came through! Thanks, buddy. This cache is worthy of its 4.5/5 D/T rating. I've been holding on to this one for several years. FTF will receive a special trackable geocoin.
