Geocache Description:


Hello all! This is my final cache for this year. A year it has been, for all of us. You won't require any tools, but you WILL need to be prepared to get a teensy wet, that is, unless you bring your best pair of wellies, or wait until wintertime. 

This is a puzzle I only recently thought of making. Yes, it's a jigsaw, and yes, it's a bit much to give this a 4.5D for a jigsaw puzzle based puzzle, but I threw a few ideas around to make this a more well deserved D and T rating, so don't discredit this as "one of those jigsaw puzzle caches".....think of it in some ways as a gift to all cachers, especially after some of my earlier puzzles this year.

 

This is your standard DreamMachine contraption, and do bring your own writing utensil. I found this vessel a few weeks ago on the side of the road.

Enjoy and in case you're curious, most of these images are my own. Most of these are from this year, and some are from caching adventures over the last few months...they're meant to reflect on the year prior, and also be fairly pleasant as scenery goes. (The only image not mine being the skyline image)

You'll require a number for the Geo-checker. This number is as a result of multiplying four numbers from the puzzle itself, following by two instances of division. 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

Congrats to BryPez on the good ol' fashioned late night FTF
