Solved the puzzle with the help from a new friend. Had everything but 1 word. Would have never gotten it without the help. Needed a cache for the day soheaded it tonight just before dark to get it. Almost needed my flashlight. Nabbed it after getting my bearings signed the log, along with my daughter who came with me. Left the pin that was there and my "Monster". Thanks for a fun puzzle

I solved this fun puzzle on 6/6/17 in anticipation of a trip up here today. We didn't have a lot of time for geocaching but I am working on a month of mysteries challenge and wanted to find one while we were here. The find was very quick on our way back home, despite several cars driving by while I was standing there. Thanks for the puzzle!
