Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!! Thank You!!!!
The 4 base members of the Puzzle Posse set out to teach us all how to do puzzles with their recent complete D/T series (Fizzy) near Athens. For those of us who have not completed a Fizzy yet, it was great to know that all of the necessary combinations were so close by. All we had to do was “solve” these puzzles. That was easier said than done!! We would work a while … stop … then find ourselves going backwards to another conclusion. We would think we were on to something … then we were stumped … and had to reverse course. Frankly we have been amazed by what we could accomplish when things seemed impossible. And we have been equally amazed by the number of times that we had absolutely NO CLUE where to begin!! But we could always back up and go in the opposite direction to find something useful.
Thankfully, the 4 members of the Puzzle Posse have been available to offer subtle hints, suggestions and encouragement as we muddled our way through this series (And no, we are not finished yet. This is based on the hope that we will finish, but we have about 4 to go.). And we are so, so thankful for the time, effort, skill and determination that was put into creating that VAST array of puzzles as part of a very large series. Seriously cachers, if you haven’t tried these, you need to review the puzzles, start with the easy ones (in difficulty), and see how much you can learn about puzzling!!
Obviously, a proper thanks to the Puzzle Posse … MUST contain a geocaching puzzle. So here is our “attempt” to create something slightly different. And equally obvious (if you have worked on their D/T series at Sandy Creek Park), the base for this puzzle must involve farm animals.
We do have one goal here. This is a “successful” geocache IF it takes the Puzzle Posse at least THIRTY minutes to solve it!! Here it is!!
North thirty three point …. Wait …. It’s not going to be THAT easy. Obviously this is just a simple red herring to make you utilize a few seconds at least!!

EVERYONE can solve this puzzle and search for this cache. North coordinates first of course. Solve for all numbers and then insert degree marks and decimals as needed. Be sure to bring a writing instrument and PLEASE be sure to put everything back JUST as you found it. DO NOT CACHE AT NIGHT!!! The park closes at dusk! Be safe and Happy Hunting!!
Puzzle Posse …. Thank you to the 4 of you!! Enjoy!!
