Brains or Brawn Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Prime Reviewer: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache with a choice of two paths that both lead to the same final cache.

One path is Brains. It is physically easy (terrain 2), but mentally challenging (difficulty 4.5). You will have to solve some puzzles to make your way to each stage. The other path is Brawn. These stages are easier to find (difficulty 2.5), but very challenging physically (terrain 4). At the first stage you will be given more details concerning the next stage for either path. The choice is entirely yours. Are you all brain, or all brawn?

At one of the stages for one of the paths there will be a puzzle phrase. E-mail me the answer to post your online log. You may find both paths for major bragging rights.

If you choose to do the Brains path, you might need some scratch paper. If it takes more than a few minutes to solve the puzzles, write down the riddle and go somewhere else to work on it so you don't look too suspicious at the cache location.

This is in the Spring Creek Greenbelt near some other caches. There is a parking lot for the park at N 32 58.205 W 96 39.761.
