I made quick work of this one, went to the general area, set GPSr down to stabilize and looky there. I found it! Thanks for placing, interesting puzzle.

Armed with some hints, we went back out today to search in the same place we looked yesterday. We even brought a "replacement cache" because we were so certain it wasn't there. Boy, were we wrong! Absolutely do not know how we missed this yesterday...found it in ten seconds today. So happy to solve this cool puzzle and to log the find! Thanks Denali41. TNLNSL TFTC

Frown DNF Frown We were so disappointed to not be able to locate the cache. I wrestled with the puzzle for a couple of days and finally handed it off to Stephen because I was getting nowhere. He worked on it a while and finally came up with the coords! Yay! Very clever puzzle (we might even steal it for our home area). Headed out this evening after it cooled off a bit and spent thirty minutes at gz without locating the find. Frown The huge pile of tires was a bit daunting, if it's hidden in there. We're going to give it another shot tomorrow. Thanks anyway.

FTS!!! (First to Solve) Wink I had solved this one right after it was published but didn't have an opportunity to make the long journey to the final location until today. This morning I headed west from my home in Loveland on a business trip to Montrose. When my meeting was first planned several weeks ago, I thought I just might have a chance at the FTF because it was still available and I have solved several Denali41 puzzles with this theme so I know how tricky it is. But I noticed a few days ago that it had been found so today I got TTF (third to find). It was still a very satisfying find and I happily signed the log. Thanks Steve for bringing this puzzle concept to this region, I'm sure future finders will love it. I know I did!

TFTC! This was a true team effort. SoldierGrrrl solved the puzzle and once we had the correct co-ords, it was a fairly easy find.
