Chill Winds Bring an Arctic Sonata Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

SCP-173: I checked on this cache a few days ago and it was missing. It was hidden next to a swampy, well off any trails. When I came back to check on it the swamp was dried out and people had made a fire in the middle of it. Trash was all over the place. I debated replacing it but I'm just too disgusted with people anymore to keep replacing caches. When people are partying in a swamp then there's no point in hiding them anymore.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but is within 5 miles of them. This puzzle cache is another one that those of you who are not computer savvy will struggle with. Even those of you who are might find it frustrating. A number of different obstacles are contained within that will attempt to keep you from figuring out the coordinates to the first of three parts. No real bushwhacking required. Good luck.


Sit down, relax and prepare for an arctic sonata.
