The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I chose the title to fulfill a challenge "Take a Hike -- the Challenge" (GC3A6KG). It requires that 33 caches are found with names of things taken on a hike and allows just one of them to be placed by the finder. So now I'm just missing "First Aid" and a cache containing that name isn't anywhere nearby.

I received a bunch of DNA tube caches for Christmas and it's about time I started using them for some new puzzle caches. One of the twenty five brand new DNA tubes is at:

N39 5(6+9).(5+1)(9+8)(4+5) W105 0(4+9).(8+5)(4+4)(3+6)

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
Congratulations to GeoCachorros (in Spain) for being first to solve, and to Chihuahuas-3 (C3) and Golden B's for first to find.

The puzzle gave me fits. I almost asked for a hint but managed to resist. I read and re-read the description and logs and finally stumbled on something that resembled coordinates! Stopped in today and found the cache! I do have to report that the plastic has degraded and the log was wet and difficult to extract. It's in a couple pieces now, but my signature is on it! TFTC!

I spent much of my free time last week solving geocache puzzles - today was the day to go and find them and sign the logs - this one was the fifth of fourteen. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Found this while grabbing puzzles with FayColSalTom and GotYour6, By the time we got to this one, I was in need of some liquid first aid! It was getting hot. Thanks for the fun puzzle.

Solved a bunch of mystery puzzles during the first weeks of Covid-19 interment. Out today with GotYour6 and turtleboy29 to spend some quality time with the odd post and plastic container, finding as many as we can, of any type, in within a 5k radius. Thanks for the cache.

Caching with FayColSalTom & turtleboy29 today finding lots of puzzles we solved during the stay home period and some traditionals on the way.

Nice walk to GZ this morning. Seems like muggles appeared from every direction as soon as I arrived.

All is well. SL TFTC

Never would have gotten this even though I used it for quite a few years. Got a hint from a geo-friend, and got it figured out right away. Nice little walk but lots of muggles from all directions. TFTC

I've had these puzzles solved for a while but haven't the chance to get them. Today I got 6 for 6 during a quick cold cache run. Nice puzzle and a quick find and sign. Thanks.

Needed our puzzle for the day so after the Iditarod event off we went with LostinDenver and WindatmyBack. Pleasant short walk to GZ (be sure and look at the cute sign on the fence) and quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Fun puzzle to solve. Took a little nudge to get there, though. The daily 4 legged muggles out walking their humans as I was making the grab. TFTP SL

Out to find our puzzle cache for today. Enjoyed the walk to this one and the quick find. Puzzle was a tough one find was mercifully quick. Tftc

Another fun puzzle to solve. I was thinking along the lines of how to solve this cache but it wasn't working. A got a nudge and part it together. I parked at the park for a short walk to ground zero. Looking around, I spotted the cache and signed the log. It was a little chilly walking back to the truck.

We headed out on a nice janurary day to go grab the new caches going to and from Central City. Enjoyed the walk to GZ. Trail was a little busy with muggles , but they seemed to disappear when when we got to GZ. EASY FIND, SL,TFTC

It was a good weather day for a cache drive with walk-to caches. Parked at the Federal Ave parking lot and had a nice hike to the cache. For solving the puzzle, I had to reach out to a cacher friend who provided a nudge. I was still confused so I mopped the floors and thought about it. It finally dawned on me how to solve it. I was happy to get the 'correct' message from the checker. Thanks for the puzzle placement, sleuthers!

Co-FTF with Chihuahuas-3 at 5:38 p.m. A few of us solved this last night and tonight on the way home we couldn't resist stopping and trying for it. We walked through the cold, almost dark night, right to ground zero, looked and didn't find anything. So, we kept looking. After we were almost frozen, we finally found it. Right there! Good grief! Nice hide! Thank you for the puzzle, the cache and the fun!

Out grabbing a few caches with the Golden B's after attending the event in Parker. We had solved this last night and since it still hadn't been found, we just had to give it a go. Geez, did we ever make this harder than it should have been. Maybe it was the bitter cold! TFTC
