This is a very easy puzzle cache added to the "Candy Trail".  There are 2 easy ways to find the cache, read below to find out how.

Congrats to Sky Ranger and KaylaMD on FTF!

This puzzle cache was added to the "Candy Trail" as an added bonus to those who enjoy the variety of containers and fun caches. 

As mentioned, there are 2 easy ways to find the location of this cache. 

1) Solve this simple puzzle:

The cache is located at N 40 30.1AB W 105 02.9CD

A= Twix Java was a coffee flavored Twix Candy Bar added in XXXA (year)

B= The "Oreo Biscuit" was invented in the year XXXB (year)

C= The popular saying "Not Going Anywhere For a While?  Grab a Snickers!"  began advertising in XXXC (year)

D= The Kit Kat Bar was officially launched as the "Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp" in XXXD (year)

All answers easily found on each candy's Wiki-page

2) If you play the nearby Wherigo Cartridge "Moose's Leftover Candy:Final"(GC5N4VN) you will be taken to the final location of this puzzle cache directly.  You will not have to solve the puzzle during the cartridge, and on top of this puzzle you will find every other cache in the series while doing the Wherigo Cartridge so this is highly recommended but not mandatory.

This puzzle cache is intended to be easy, fun, and family-friendly.  You do not have to complete the Wherigo Cartridge to find this puzzle, and you may find it at any time you'd like. 

There is room for very small SWAG and either small trackables or most geocoins.  The final container is round in shape and very obvious once you're in the right spot.  Don't forget to re-hide it well!

NOTE: There is NO candy inside these containers, nor should you put any inside them.  The name is for the purposes of the containers which you will understand when you find them.  You should NEVER put food inside a geocaching container for safety, health reasons, and of course it will eventually attract wild animals.  Please, if you are on this trail and you are hungry, do NOT eat my containers!  They are meant to be fun and out of the ordinary so enjoy and take pictures if you'd like to share them!

Ugh. I thought I was all done for today after successfully finding 10 mystery caches. I then got home and used the Project-GC checker for one of your other challenge caches and realized I actually needed 15! I was already 2/3 of the way done so felt rather committed despite my early work day on Saturday so back out I went to find a few more challenges. This one had a bit of a walk but it was actually a nice night despite the ominous clouds this afternoon. When I got to GZ (which I double checked was actually the right coordinates), I did not see a log but I did find the container your hint indicated. I added a piece of paper and tucked the container away. Thanks for the challenge and helping me get my 11th find for the day!

I enjoyed the find today. Found with BriGuy. Adventures in the area as we are up for an NOCO event later in the day. Best Wishes, DustyRiver / Terry

We have been enjoying this series and the variety of cache types. Found with dustyriver. We wanted to come up from Denver and attend an event in Northern Colorado. It has been a few years since we have, so we figured we would make a day out of it. We enjoyed all the finds and we really need to cache this area more often. Thanks for all the fun!

Peace love pi and I were working on the Wherigo Final that goes along with this series, so of course we had to make the finds along the way! The container is pretty rusty and did not want to open. Lucky for me peace love pi is armed and determined. We did a little CITO in the area before heading back to the car. Thanks for this series! Find #3399.

Out with lasouthpaw working on some wherigos and challenges. We completed this as part of Moose's Candy Final. TFTC! The container is quite rusty. Fortunately we were able to pry it open with a knife. A new container is probably needed, but we didn't have one with ys.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Very rusty, but cute a container. We had to pry it open with a mini Leatherman.

Geocaching with Betzij from Longmont to Fort Collins today finding virtual caches, Wherigo caches, Challenge caches, multi caches, letter box, and traditional caches. We replaced several wet long sheets and baggies, also, trying to help the COs in maintaining their caches. The caches requiring verification received write note and those will be edited when I return to SC and am at the computer. I sent messages to two COs today, and they responded promptly. Thanks to all of the COs for putting out and maintaining the caches for us to enjoy. Quite a pleasant experience for four days in CO!

We are on our 4th day of our joint geocaching spree in Colorado: DDSRN from SC and me from Montana. Finally woke up to a clear day and no rain until very late afternoon. Today should be an easier day with no long climbs up mountains or snow to content with like we had on Day 2.

Working through the Wherigo and found this one along the way. Many of the caches the Wherigo has you look for have been archived or are just not there.

Pretty container. TFTH

Took me much longer to get the container open than it did to make the walk to this one. Nice puzzle nice hide thank you for the find
