Geocaching is free. Of course we all know that.
However to get the most out of the game people will usually need to spend a little money here and there.
One of the expenditure lines is for Tools of The Trade aka TOTTs.
There are many of these ranging from things which help you to solve puzzles, project coordinates, or to access a GZ or a cache at a GZ. Some caches can not be accessed without a specific TOTT. And sometimes this requirement is reflected in either or both of the D and T ratings.
This series contains caches which you will probably find easier with one or more TOTTs. Whether it is working out the final location or accessing the cache once there, there will be something where a TOTT will help. But part of the fun is that we won't necessarily tell you in advance which TOTT you might need. Of course this may not be a problem for the experienced cacher. But for newer ones some of these might open new windows of opportunities.
This is #03 in the series. It is an unknown cache and it has a puzzle.
Maybe a TOTT will help you solve it?
There are books and on line solvers of all sorts to help you with puzzles. But of course it helps to know what sort of puzzle it is.
Here is the puzzle:
44 35 51 45 23 45 23 24 43 45 55 21 35 51 43 45 23 24 43 45 55 21 24 52 15 41 35 24 34 45 15 24 22 23 45 45 23 43 15 15 44 15 52 15 34 15 11 44 45 35 34 15 45 23 24 43 45 55 34 24 34 15 45 23 24 43 45 55 41 35 24 34 45 15 24 22 23 45 45 23 43 15 15 35 34 15
In this case a number of TOTTs were used to get to and hide the cache at GZ. See the checker for a spoiler photo which may help you decide on any TOTTs you may want to take with you to GZ.
With this series if you do move the container please ensure it is replaced in its exact original location for the next person to find.
Good luck. And stay safe.
