In order to make the find (sign the log) and collect the code word for this series of caches you will need to prepare yourself ahead of time.
1: You will need to be familiar with how to operate a dial combination lock.
2: You will need to solve this logic puzzle to have the combination to open the lock.
3. (Update: 11/18/21) I am going to try out a non-dial lock for a while since the dial one had some sticking problems. This will make the difficulty slightly less but I won't be changing the d/t. The puzzle has been changed accordingly and any previous finders that would like the new combo are welcome to ask for it.
It is best but not necessary to do this ahead of time or save this cache info for offline use as cell service in this State Gamelands can be poor.
PUZZLE:
- [2] - [6] - [7] One number is correct and in its correct place.
- [2] - [4] - [3] One number is correct but in the wrong place.
- [7] - [5] - [2] Two numbers are correct but both are in the wrong place.
- [1] - [0] - [6] All numbers are wrong.
This cache is located in State Gamelands 41 and normal precautions should be taken when enjoying; including but not limited to wearing blaze orange for safety and visibility. The walk to the cache site from parking is relatively short but there is at least a mile of nice SGL road to take a walk and explore in this section if you desire. Please replace as found. Parking waypoint is provided.
ENJOY! 🍄
The Series:
This 20-for-20 Series was placed as a collaboration of MrBee&WillowTree, Superchucklez, 74vwBus, WHATS IT SAY COL 2, mrGreen317, OddMushroom, and Profbrad. We wanted to place a series of 20 geocaches to celebrate 20 years of geocaching. We hope you enjoy the various types of hides, all across JAGA-land: Micro, Small, Regular, Large; Traditionals, Multi-Caches, Letterbox-Hybrid, Wherigo, and those pesky Mysteries. Happy 20th Birthday, Geocaching!
On May 3, 2000, Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant, wanted to test the accuracy of GPS by hiding a navigational target in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users' group. The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit.
The finder would then have to locate the container with only the use of his or her GPS receiver. The rules for the finder were simple: "Take some stuff, leave some stuff."
On May 3, Dave placed his own container, a black bucket, in the woods, taking the location's coordinates to be N 45 17.460 W 122 24.800. Along with a logbook and pencil, he left various prize items including videos, books, software, and a slingshot. He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav.
THE REST IS HISTORY!
(Historic text taken, mostly as-is, with minor edits, from www.geocaching.com/about/history.aspx)
Throughout the month of May 2020, look for five caches of this series to publish each weekend, with a "series final cache" to conclude the series on May 30. That's one new JAGA-land cache for each year of geocaching's history, plus "one to grow!"
Be sure to write down or take photos of code words provided in each of the series caches that will help you get the coordinates for the series final when it is available at the end of May.
