What a doozy! In a fun way, I suppose. I shameless used the pain of a DNF to talk gampa&gamma in to returning to GZ with me. Wow, what a hide! The puzzle was a ton of fun - I even learned some basic Korean! And the hide?! Wow. Very nice. Right there. Although my GPSr pointed to the fence, cooler/smarter heads prevailed with G&G. So glad to find this one and mark it off my list! TFTC!

We went out with TigerFinder to avenge our DNFs on this difficult cache. Working together, we were able to make the find. Happily signed the log and replaced the container as found. Thanks for the challenging cache.

Logging this one honestly, this is my second time here. Does anyone care? Maybe. Maybe not. Doesn’t matter. I returned this morning with the right tools and a better sense of gz. Although I hoped previous logs would be helpful, so far, they have not been. I searched and searched with no luck under the cover of sim early morning light. No real traffic that early. Anyone out was scurrying off to their job to start the burn. I suppose I need to as well. I will return when this one can ‘stew’ a little.

Out with Kerewin0430 today, seeing what the snow would permit us to find. We were very surprised to see this area was clear, and proceeded to search for this elusive rascal. I was VERY happy when my good luck charm found it, and we were able to claim a smiley at last. Thanks for the interesting puzzle and hide!

Goodness! This one involved multiple trips, multiple people, and multiple strokes of luck! A couple people had mentioned this one to me over the past year, but I had no idea how to translate it, so it stayed in the back of my mind for a while. COpackrat figured out the numbers, but we were hoping there were more hints in the rest of the text, so we waited for a while. Eventually, I had a patient come through who was more than happy to help! She took a picture of this page and texted it to her mom, who kindly called us back with the translation. Several months later, COp and I went back, but left empty handed. The recent snowstorm dumped several inches all over town, so we didn't really expect to have a shot at it today, but decided to do a driveby anyway. Wouldn't you know, that area was perfectly dry, despite snow everywhere else?! I should have taken a panorama shot to show how funny it was! With different TOTT this time, we set to work and eventually found what we were after. I hardly dared believe it was the cache!! The log was mildewed, so we added a fresh log. Thank you for this challenging cache!

Wahoo! Never found one like this before! I like it. Now, I will wonder when I see one like this again, is there a cage there?

Met RPieperCO here for the search. Happy to say, got it! Tftc Sterns...another one of yours in the book!

Thanks for the fun puzzle cache! This one took a bit of figuring out but in the end it came together! I wish I had had access to some of the other posters friends! Wink

With final coords in hand I don't actually recall the first visit other than I poked around the tree and fence a bit.

The second visit I was armed with a bit more information and felt good about where and what I was looking for. After a few minutes the home owner next to the cache came out and asked why there have been so many people walking around that spot. She was wondering what we all have been looking for! i explained geocaching to her and she was very interested in the whole concept and was eager to see me find it. It wasn't meant to be.... After about 30 minutes she said good luck and to wave at her window if I find it. I spent about an hour that evening.

Today I was hellbent on finding this cache. I came armed with probes and my metal detector. I had talked to a couple other previous finders in the mean time and they shared similar information as I had already, but one in particular helped. I arrived a bit early from our scheduled time so I thought I would start with the probe and leave the metal detector in the car. I found a sprinkler head first! Less than 30 seconds later I hit the prize!

Woo Hoo! Nearly 2 years and 2 months since this last saw a visitor! Awesome! Signed and stamped the log and sent a couple messages out. A few minutes later GoMRT arrived and to his astonishment I had found it without the metal detector and didn't need the TOTT. We then proceeded to chat for almost 2 hours about upcoming and past adventures.

I love this hobby! This was well done start to finish and I'm so glad I can mark this as found!

Quick solve of the puzzle, but no joy with the find today. We chatted with the home owner for a time and assured her that we were not trying to destroy her property. She wondered if we had found a "stash" from the local teens----ha! The local teens had their eyes on us most of the time as they didn't seem to like their "hiding spot" infringed on. We will go back when there is less of an audience and maybe with more ideas of where the hidey-hole is. We pretty much exhausted most ideas, so we are hoping it is still there.
Thanks for the fun puzzle and we hope to log a smiley soon.

Nice challenge, it helps if you have someone who can translate it for you like we did. Goods were off by about 20 feet. Had to PAF at GZ. TFTC

Wow. The puzzle was tough....finding the actual cache was twice as hard. We have been to GZ three times and came away empty each time. Fourth time is the charm. Had to PAF and still it took quite some time to find. Log soaked and moldy, replaced log. Tftc!

Finally can get this puzzle off my solved list. Took a few pafs but came away with a smiley. Sl, thanks!

Out on a caching adventure in the Springs with sassydil. We got a few puzzles, multis, and trads. Successful day while it was pretty "warm" and nice out. TFTP! Final was well hidden and I got some good photos of the nearby flood damage.
Bike Path...

Took some searching to find the correct translation needed. Then looking for the final we were thrown off by the terrain rating. Based on the name of the cache, the hide style was exactly what I was expecting. Animjason took a photo of the flood damage on the closed bike path nearby.

Solve the puzzle a long time ago. Found the final quickly today after thinking about where would it be. Great puzzle and hiding spot. Cache in good shape but the log is really damp. Hard to sign it. Sorry I did not have a replacement log.
