Geocache Description:


UPDATE: To clear up any confusion, BigBender hasn't necessarily quit the game or anything. This was made because a ton of his puzzles I had been looking at for months were suddenly archived!

 

In my short time of caching, I have seemed to have had a unique connection with BigBender, of which I will not fully elaborate here. This cache/puzzle is for him!

As he says he has mostly lost his spark for caching, he has archived most, if not all of his puzzles. I have spent quite some time on these puzzles, and of the few I have solved, I have not gotten to find many of them. Now that they are gone, this will free up lots of space for possibilities, but I will miss working on the difficult challenges he has created for this area. One day you may return, but so long BigBender.

(Necessary for the puzzle)

 

Oh, what's this?! A seta of blue dots!
Are they easy? Oh boy, they're no9t.
This puUzzle is hard! I'll have to surrenGder.
Oh of course, it was made by BigBender.

Oh, what's that? Is that a clue!?
Oh, it's just a red hPerring what good does that do?
The amount of attempts I've put in is insane!
What gooDd does it do for me to keep wracking my brain!?
Oh gosh, these must be the hardest puzzles in the state!
Will I ever get that correct coordinate?
I'm trying everything I have, I'm not th5e best contender
5but I guess that's what you get when you solve puzzles from BigBender.

I think I'mU nearing the end,
I seem prettyr close!
On the other hand, I could be completely wrong
Who knows!
I want this to be over!
It's hurting Amy mind!
I want to stop thinking
And go outside!!!!

Now they are all gone,
freeing up opportunities.
I took them for granted,
and now there are no puzzles for me.

But to be fair I couldn't solve a single puzzle!
I'd get way too much help, but it was so worth the trouble.
I'll admit that I'll miss them, I'm not a big pretender
But I guess we can say goodbye to these great old puzzles from BigBender.
