I ended up getting a hint from the CO a while back and finally made it over here to snag this one. I had gone down one path on the puzzle that seems to make sense but it did not reveal the solution. All good here. Thanks for the cache!

My initial solution idea was close, so then of course I went off on a tangent for a while before circling back. The cache was quickly found and is in good shape. Cheers.

Out caching with FeartheFish which means me driving his butt all over the place like usual. Interesting approach to the puzzle. Find not that difficult. TFTC!

Got a good geochecker on this a while back, but just got into the area today. Thanks for another fun puzzle and cache!

I had time today to run out and grab this puzzle which I "needed" for lots of reasons. I had solved this demonic beast ages ago and was thrilled to discover that the final was not nearly as sinister as the puzzle. That being said, the final did take some effort and blood was shed.

I enjoyed this puzzle and am giving it a favorite point for multiple reasons. The evil genius in this puzzle is incredibly clever. Also, finding a puzzle gets me very close to finally completing the Uber Mystery Challenge (less than thirty to go). Lastly, finding a puzzle today helps with another puzzle (canned language about my insanity to follow).

I chose today to look for this one because I signed an insane challenge in California that requires me to find a puzzle cache on every calendar day of the year (save February 29th) in order to meet the logging requirements. I had no trouble finding this one and I am thrilled to be one day closer to completing the challenge, though I still have just over sixty days to go. Thanks for the fun puzzle, hide, and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

Before meeting up with the CO and some other cachers to get a puzzle final together, I stopped to get this one. It ended up being the first of 9 caches I was able to get today.

The puzzle itself was interesting and without a hint from another finder months ago I don't know if I would've come with the solution. Very clever and easy to make it harder than it needs to be. Which seems to be the case fairly frequently with this COs puzzles. Sometimes they really do make you go in circles, and other times, the answer is just right there in front of your face.

Anyway, the final ended up being easier than expected even though I was prepared to do more work. I was actually kind of looking forward to a little more of a challenge at the final (which I rarely say) but as I was running a little late, I was glad to get an easier find.

Thanks for the hide the5millers. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.
