Special notes about the 2009 Puzzle Challenge
Candcfamily offered the use of a cool coordinate verifier, so that I could offer points to the First To Solve, rather than the First To Find. Unfortunately, time just goes by too quickly in December, and I never got around to figuring how best to integrate it. But, I think that offering points to the first solvers will negate the arbitrary advantage for those who happen to be located closer to where I tend to hide the caches. So, if you want to be considered for Fastest Solver points, email me the coordinates for verification. Team solutions must include all team member names (to be awarded the same points). All "point" scoring is arbitrary and at the discretion of the cache owner and mostly meaningless anyway (unless you really really want a specific bottle of wine). To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special notes about this cache:
I decided to start off the year off with an "easy" one. Well, puzzles usually seem easier to the creator. Actually, I just ran out of time and couldn't create a decent puzzle; so I just looked for one in my e-mail. There are No Trespassing signs at the nearby "related" location; so I don't recommend parking there. I found parking about .2 miles away, though you may be able to find closer parking. Location moved about 10 feet on Feb 4th, 2012. Location has been moved again as of June 2013. Puzzle has been updated. The decoder was no longer working (not even the old version); so the email was updated March 26, 2025.
