Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Puzzle Cache series! I was inspired by some caches I found in New York that required cachers to solve a puzzle or riddle in order to gain access to the cache log. This puzzle cache contains a treasure chest with a key lock and a cryptex puzzle containing the keys to the lock. The goal of the cache is to open the cryptex, retreive the keys, and access the cache log in the chest. When you are done with the cache, please place the keys back in the cryptex and lock the chest so that the next cachers can have a fun time with the puzzle! I hope you enjoy!

The solution to the cryptex is the date of the 216th day of 2024! The format is MM/DD/YY. Be sure to line up the numbers with the dashes on the cryptex. No force is required - it should open smoothly if you have the correct date.
