Geocache Description:


Welcome to the WSGA Event Committee's Puzzle Solving Event Series (PSES)!!!

We will be hosting events about once a month at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery meeting room with the focus of learning about how to solve all types of puzzle caches! Each event will have a primary focus and a presentation to go along with it. After the presentation, there will be time to solve puzzles and get assistance.

After each event, a mystery cache will be published to test the knowledge that you learned at the event. The cache's puzzle will be based on the topic of each event.

This is the presentation that was used at the event. Reading through it will make solving this puzzle a breeze! PSES I Slides
