Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at published coordinates.

Solve puzzle to determine final coordinates

I thought I might be through with Mystery Caches as I was having trouble thinking of different ways I could hide numbers in a puzzle and I figured our local community had had enough of puzzle solving.(I do have some ideas, however) We'll climb those stairs when we get to them.

At a recent event, El Nimrod introduced me to Certitude, where an answer is not necessary coordinates but could be a word. Things are looking up!

If the title doesn't jog your memory, it references a series of Saturday Night Live sketches that aired between 1996 and 2002 called Celebrity Jeopardy. Will Ferrell played Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond, Sean Connery. In one episode Connery misspeaks "swords" for the category S Words. If you've not seen it, look it up and have a laugh. It's probably not recommended for kids, however.

Cache is a camouflaged container with a top similar to a pill bottle that requires you to press down to open. An assortment of swag, hot wheel, ball, lanyard and earbuds. Twist the cover tight to close and re-hide as well or better than found. ? is near RiverJax'n'ville (Glenwood/Appleton) so if she's first to solve, it'll be close by, let the arrow be your guide. Remember - the decision to search for any geocache and the responsibility for your own safety lies with you.
