Geocache Description:


This cache is cursed! This box was number nine in the Perpetual Perplexing Puzzling Puzzle series of twelve cache boxes. It was originally placed in a great location on Huntington Boulevard in Fresno but soon disappeared because of the high pedestrian traffic in the area. I made a real nice camouflaged box covered with vines and hid it again in a small park off of Olive. A couple of days later I received an email from a cacher letting me know that he found the box and contents (puzzle pieces at the time) scattered about the park. He was nice enough to collect them and mail them to me. I then moved the box to its current location, a somewhat isolated spot. Again, upon checking the cache myself, I have found it scattered. I replaced the box only to have other cachers report that they have simply found the box dumped out in the open. One cacher rehid the box under some rocks, only doomed to disappear. There is now a new box to find, but beware; the old box #9 is still lurking somewhere out there, haunting this location.

This box is a #1 to find in the summer but a #3 to find in the winter. Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet!
