Geocache Description:


DON'T COUNT ON IT

Please read the description.

This cache is being brought to you Captain Nemo and Oddlotr.  It is located on private property with permission, outside of all fences. Please respect their property.  If using Google Maps they incorrectly show the cache east of it's actual location. It is Very visible from the paved road.

 The challenge is not necessarily finding the cache location, but, retrieving the log from the puzzle within.  The puzzle was acquired by Oddlotr at a Christmas in August celebration during a family reunion in Central Oregon.  After he solved the puzzle (he cheated!), he decided to offer it to Captain Nemo as a gadget/puzzle cache.

To solve the puzzle, you must first open the cache container which is locked with a combination lock.  The combination is a secret (right past zero 3 times to 34 – left past zero stop at 36 –right to 30…don’t tell anyone.)  Once you have opened container you will find some swag stuff and a wooden box.  The actual cache log is hidden in the box.

You may dislodge some small parts when accessing the log.  Please be careful not to lose them.  If they do get lost, please contact Captain Nemo so he can replace them.

You may find that a pair of tweezers or small pliers may be helpful in extracting the log, but they are NOT required to solve the puzzle.  No twisting or prying is required to access the log.

This cache is part of the Newberry Springs Gadget Cache series  GC92VWX, GC936N1, GC9Z17M, GC90NQ2, GCA2D4T  and GC9026H, GCAB58B all of which contain clues to the Bonus Cache GC8ZWZE.

We hope you enjoy the challenge.  Perhaps we will meet somewhere at a future cache as yet unfound.

Captain Nemo and Oddlotr.

If you are having problems sent me, CaptnNemo, a picture of the puzzle piece and I will supply more hints.
