“Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”
“Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.
“No, I give up,” Alice replied: “What’s the answer?”
“I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter”
This is a traditional cache with no puzzle guarding the coordinates. However, you might be puzzled when you get to ground zero. We did not try to exclude, nor did we avoid adding unnecessary diversions, decoys and red herrings. (Huh?) If you find yourself scratching your head, first look for ticks, then keep looking.
Here is our prediction of a few questions that might be going through your mind while searching:
- Why are these here?
- Why am I here?
- Could that be adriftwood?
- Have we been stumped?
- Is that a loon?
- That is too obvious...or is it?
- Is that a conic section illustrating a parabola?
- Hmm, where is the closest beaver lodge?
- There must be one greeting! Where is it?
- Why is this Patsy Cline tune going through my head?
- Has the CO lost his marbles?
The CHALLENGE: Take a look around but don't touch anything until you have a firm selection.
Can you pick out the cache on your first choice?
If you succeed, log your eminence. If not, log the truth and it shall set you free of this insanity.
Please don't rearrange any of the furniture and leave things as you found them. As every Geocacher knows, the thrill of the hunt is better than the thrill of the kill. Right?
