Geocache Description:


Welcome to

~~~ Number One ~~~

About the series: The Puzzling In The Field series is a collection of field puzzle caches which have been carefully selected and crafted to give you that magical Aha! moment, while maintaining a fun challenge. I hope you enjoy :)

Individual geocache info: I needed to hide a cache to obtain the Blue Switch Day HIDER souvenir, so decided to hide a cache only using blue materials, and start my new series. Even the font colour on this page is blue!

The cache: To find this cache, you will need to solve the below “breakout” puzzle to find WP1, which is a blue NFC tag. Scan it and it will give you the location of GZ, which is a blue bison about 11m high in a tree, with a scenic view, especially at sunset, which was when this cache was placed.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
