Geocache Description:


There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.

Nearly 16 years ago I started caching with my mother and father. Then I had about a 3,000 day gap of finds. Around 5 years ago I started caching again with my daughter. In the last year I've found about 750 caches and solved about 75 puzzles. I created and launched a few puzzles over the last few months and I've been thinking a lot about my favorite puzzles and ideas for making something for other cachers. This cache is the eighth in what I hope is a series of caches throughout the winter of 2023. Be sure to save the bonus information from the geochecker for the winter season finale. On with the show…


I’ve worked on puzzle caches for minutes, hours, days, and sometimes for months. There’s one particular one nearby that I’ve looked at for parts of three years (December 2021 through February 2023). These caches are a mystery for a reason. Them being a puzzle is the name of the game. For that cache, and a few others I’ve started, I’m never going to give up trying to solve them. Will you give up solving this one?
