 The cache IS at the posted coordinates.

 

 

Here's a fun field puzzle to try out.  Some parts are custom built and others I grew in my own garden!

 

Remove both caps and it should be self explanitory.

 

Please be gentle! 

 

Please replace everything as found including the order of items.  Thanks!

 

 

 

"Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand in my youth are dead. Even Jessie. But I still reach out to them.

 

Of course, now I'm too old to be much of a fisherman. And now I usually fish the big waters alone... although some friends think I shouldn't. But when I am alone in the half-light of the canyon... all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul and memories... and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm... and the hope that a fish will rise.

 

Eventually, all things merge into one... and a river runs through it.

 

The river was cut by the world's great flood... and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words... and some of the words are theirs.

 

I am haunted by waters."

Loved it! My nephews would as well. I'm going to bring them back out here when they come to visit.

Sometimes, improvising is a good thing! Make my brain work! Luckily, my Geocaching backpack is equipped with just such tools! My dentist would be happy. As would my ninth grade science teacher, Dr. Frederick. I thought I had my fill of one but that was just the beginning! I laughed all the way through this one.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll become a great liar. I think I already fit the latter half so I might as well be good at this one! Thanks for the cache!

Super fun puzzle gadget cache! Lol! Replaced TOTT with a new one. Drilled a hole in the bottom of the TOTT container. No idea how that filled with water!? Tested out cache and caught a few lunkers! Signed the log and buttoned everything back up! Good to go!

Did a maintenance run yesterday - will need to come back to properly fix this one. In the mean time, it is still accessible with a little ingenuity and your own TOTT.

Out with kerewin0430 today, and she was gracious enough to take me to caches that she had already found and could watch me flounder around on. This was a fun one, thanks for the hide!

I got a chuckle from this one after I reeled in the first one. Fun concept, adding a favorite, TFTC!

Made a stop off to get this one after meeting the CO at another one of his caches. The kids loved this one, thanks for the creative cache.

Having a great time caching with jasperdakota between Castle Rock and Monument on a beautiful day to be out and about. Had a great time with this one. Like any good fisherman, you can't catch just one fish.

Very clever. Giving it a fave.
