Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Scorpion Geoart!

 

After enjoying the hard work of other geoart cache hiders, I decided to give back with my own artwork.  These aren't meant to be terribly hard as a whole -- most caches are pill bottles, soda tubes bison tubes or Berty tubes (no nanos, DNA tubes or guardrail hides, thankyouverymuch) and the terrain and difficulty are pretty accurate.  Sorry, if your plan is to get a bunch of park-n-grabs and fill in another loop on your Fizzy, you may be disappointed here.  TOTT's will be required on a few, but nothing too over-the-top.  Some of the puzzles might be tricky for less-seasoned puzzle solvers. I tried to place these where there was room to safely pull off the road but these are generally lightly-traveled roads anyway, so take your time and enjoy the scenery!

 

This is a Mystery cache. 

THERE IS NO REASON TO GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES! 

Solve the puzzle and put your answer in the linked Certitude Checker to get the actual coordinates.



We'll start out with an easy one.  How many legs does a scorpion have?

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congratulations to Sparkyiv for being FTF!
