Happy 303 Day!!

"Solved" the puzzle thanks to a puzzle event. Today we headed there after the nearby event to find it. From reading the logs we knew this wouldn't be a "park n grab" , and it certainly wasn't. However, we were encouraged by a log stating the coords were good and focused our search in that area. It took a while but at last we were rewarded.

I have a backlog of solved T5M caches so decided to get this one today. FeartheFish whined so I took him along and he was his normal "useful" self. I previous finder had told me that this one would be a bear to find even with the solution and he was right. On the bright side, for T5M coordinates, they were pretty much spot on. Looked and looked and looked (and dug around) and finally spotted the little thing! Since T5M loves them so much will give it a fav! TFTC!

Looks like it was a T5M kind of day!! We started with not ONE, but TWO FTFs this morning. It was a day of T5M puzzles and multi’s and regulars [oh my]. There were some struggles along the way, but we were committed to only smiley’s on our logs, so while way too much time was spent on some of the dumbest stuff, we walked away victorious on every container we set out to look for. It is also great to get that little puzzle piece icon switched over to a happy emoji…my geo-housecleaning OCD will sleep much better tonight having all these caches successfully logged. Thank you T5M for the entertainment, fun caches and sucking another 6 hours or so out of my life. BONUS: All of these finds today might just move me to one of your top ten finders! How cool would that be! TFTC

Doing a little clean up today around town. Had only planned to get one cache but that turned into a second, third, fourth and so on. Struggled a little bit on a few caches today while others that we thought were going to be difficult were easy grabs.

Solved this one with heh324 prior in the year but this was the first time we came to join in on the pain that others have experienced. This was one of those that, if tried for later in the day, would have been a big fat Did Not Find. However, it was found earlier in the day before a lot of other headaches were had on other caches. So what happened here you ask? Quite simply we perSUEd, perUSED, and finally had to perSUADE others for help! After receiving a hint we still banged our heads on the nearby rocks and stuck yucca needles in our eyes. After bleeding profusely from our wounds w and saying more swear words than Urban Dictionary has listed we, somehow, someway, finally spotted the container (that truly shouldn't even be considered a container - especially here at ground zero). T5M, you really are a ... well ... how do I say this and keep things PG-13... a jerk! ;) I question why I even like you at times, yet for some reason you keep me coming back. Maybe its because I am more mental than others tell me?

I concur with @benj59 that this is absolutely BRUTAL! Again, like @benj59, we are SO happy to have come here on a calendar month that is not near spring, summer or fall as this would have also been a Did Not Find that would have haunted us for months! Yes, that may be a run on sentence but I am still struggling to think straight and see straight.

DimensionGarret, Laden24, weasel311 are just as happy as heh324 and myself here to walk away with another yellow smiley face.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, T5M for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

Thanks for making a puzzle out of this interesting data. I spent a while looking for the cache then contacted a previous finder who helped me enough that I found the cache quickly. Cheers.

Well we solved this a month ago and went back today for third time with a hint and still can't find it. Very disappointing and sad to walk away with a DNF.

I had an opportunity for FTF on this cache. Actually, many days of opportunity! But I held onto this for the Planetary Pursuit souvenirs. I am determined to get all 10 souvenirs!

I amazingly, somehow, was able to solve the puzzle with no hints and on my first Certitude try! That might be the first time I've gotten a the5millers puzzle on the first try! Just took some good research and trying to get into the5millers head. Maybe it's not a good sign I got it on the first try!

The hide was also a typical challenging the5millers hide. I thought I had a good idea with a beacon. While I was wrong with my initial idea, I was able to spot the cache from that angle. Like others, I have to concur that this will be miserable once summer hits. Get it now while you can!!

Thanks for the hide the5millers

After receiving a happy checker, I wound up in my old neighborhood for the final! Sneaky hide! Signed log. Thanks for a challenging one!

First cache of the day, yay! I am surprised we got to sign a blank log. This will be much harder in spring/summer.

The clue gave me idea right away how to solve it, but I finally sat down and did it yesterday. Fun puzzle and container. Fave. [FTF]

Now I have the whole 303 collection :)

Thanks the5millers! Logged Happy 303 Day!! from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!
