Have you ever been browsing geocaching.com and found a really cool puzzle? Maybe you looked, but decided to set it aside becasue you did not think you would ever go to that part of Iowa. I have solved 20 really cool puzzles placed in Iowa. If you have solved these same puzzles, you will find this mystery cache very easy. But if you have not solved these puzzles or did not save the final coordinates, you will need to put in the time to get the solution. I have not claimed the find for all 20, but I hope to claim them soon.
I am not going to make it easy, though. Are you ready for the challenge?
You need to solve 20 Mystery caches, one at a time, from all over Iowa in order to find the final coordinates of a cache located in Buchanan County, Iowa . I have selected the puzzles for their creativity, diversity and enjoyment.
The difficulty of the mysteries is varied and randomly distributed. Be aware that the accumulation of difficulties is more than 70 stars. The terrain rating reflects the physical placement of the cache. Your feet will remain on terra firma as you make this find.
As you solve each of the mysteries in this series you will be rewarded with two things. First, you will get the name and GC-number of the next mystery in the series. You will also be given a number that will help you calculate the final coordinates.
The owners of the caches involved have given me permission for the puzzle to be a part of the Master of Iowa Mystery series. MeToo1865 solved all of the mysteries, so please feel free to contact us, or the owners, with questions.
The difficulty of the mysteries is varied and distributed randomly. Some are easy, and some will hopefully strain your brain.
Please, ONLY write notes on this cache page, rather than writing them on the individual cache pages.
I thank starless for the inspiration for this puzzle. Master of Iowa Mysteries is not part of the Master of Mystery official list.
