Geocache Description:


Let's get together in the Pahrump Community Library and talk about how to solve puzzle/mystery caches.  We can also consider multis and other caches that require more than just going to the posted coordinates.  You can learn how to change or add waypoints, write notes only you can read, and websites to help you decode ciphers.

Bring the GC numbers of the caches that have eluded you so far.  Probably somebody can give you pointers on how to solve it - or we can tackle it together.  There are definitely common or "usual" ways to solve many caches - and once you know those, you will find all the puzzle caches less intimidating.

Caches can be from any state or country - the techniques are similar.  I welcome those who don't even know where to begin, as well as more experienced cachers who are stuck on particularly hard problems.  I've solved puzzles in foreign countries posted in the local language, so cachers from anywhere in the world are welcome.

We'll be in a large private room with tables and chairs, as well as the library wi-fi.  Bring your phone or your tablet or laptop - whatever you use to solve things.  This is meant to be casual and helpful - or you can just come and socialize with fellow cachers.
