A Puzzling Month (Challenge) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: 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:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. HOWEVER, IT IS WITHIN 1 MILE. COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE AND SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO FIND THE FINAL LOCATION AND LOG THE CHALLENGE.

The Bay Area has a wonderful puzzling community of both old and new puzzlers.  The camaraderie and support are inspiring.  That is lucky since puzzles here are often very challenging and sometimes require a meeting of the minds to solve. 

For those out there that love the Unknowns (?) ~puzzle, mystery or challenge~ I present this cache.  It is a challenge I have completed myself with 136 consecutive days of Unknown (?) solves and finds so I know just how tough it is, particularly in the area we live in.

In order to qualify, you must:

1. Log online one month, 30 consecutive days of Unknown (?) caches. It can be any 30 day period, as long as it is consecutive. Crossing over months is okay.

2. Include in your log the beginning and end days for your streak and the list of caches for each day.


Now, for the fun! This is an Unknown (?) challenge after all and what would it be without a puzzle? It is not meant to be difficult so, if you need a hint, just let me know what you have tried and I will ty to help further your solution quest. The puzzle solves and challenges that I have completed have all been unique and interesting in their own ways and I have so many "favorites". Wish I could list them all here but had to limit it to the following few:

The cache is a small camoed tupperware with a red lid. Please be kind to the vegetation in the area. Follow the hint so as to not do excessive damage. Replace the cache with the red lid up so the next cacher is able to find it easily.

Good Luck!


CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NORTH STAR ON FTF!!!
