Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Hopefully, it is located near the coordinates you get when you solve the puzzle. (Enter your solution into Certitude to get the adjusted coordinates.)

Special Notes about the 2016 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party in December, and even that might not happen in the right order). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. 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 month's cache: Grabbed coordinates using my phone, hopefully they're close enough to find the cache. This is one of those caches that I think is easy, but I've been wrong before. 26thApr2019: Moved the cache slightly WNW to avoid poison oak. No longer a regular-sized cache, this was replaced with a small container. Jul2023: Cache is possibly grown over by poison oak. Because the direct road is closed, I'm not sure when I'll make it back out here to place a new container.
