This is an actual cache that was Abducted from the E.T. series. They say it was a CITO mission, but we all know the aliens were meddling in human affairs...again.
Aliens have invaded. This was all part of their sinister plan as discovered in some cached logs of an area 51 operative. There are reports that the aliens were spotted near a deserted road in Nevada and have taken something. They seem to have some sort of numbering system but it is hard to say what any of it means. We could only find crop circles showing QD282cG and D0T82Cg. They were the only clues left at the site where the abduction occurred. It seams that the cows somehow made the markings and can only be seen from space with the use of satellites. We then discovered a very disturbing image in the dot matrix. Help us track down the missing artifact. We believe they have hidden the key to what has happened in the desert. The head alien has been discovered, e7g54BT but there may be others lurking around disguised as cows. Check your solution

The original container is gone but the original container holder is still there. At the final ground zero, look for a pvc pipe sticking up. It should be 6" long and half exposed.

So glad to finally sign this one off my list. Took a lot of hours searching with no avail. Asked a friend for a clue and bingo away I went. Thanks for replacing the cache AbvAvg! Thanks for the puzzle kaiwarrior!

Thanks for the fun puzzle cache! Found the replacement cache on the way to the Wingin It event.

This one has been on my to do list for some time. Reached out to a fellow cacher for a hint. With that I was off and running. Left a camo film container in a somewhat safe location close to the GZ. Thanks for the interesting puzzle.

Struck out on this one. I wonder if it still there?

I forgot to log this one. You would think since I had to phone a friend (MooseTag), I would have remembered to log it. Yeah, nope. Anyway finally login it now. The original container is no longer in place. Bummer since I wanted to see a piece of the famous ET power trail. Oh well.

Oh my, so much to say about this one! I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Kaiwarrior yet but I have seen the name all over northern Colorado! I was looking for something to qualify me for a "lonely cache" challenge and since I love puzzle caches I figured I'd give this one a go. I figured out the first part of the puzzle quickly, but I had a couple failed attempts at geocheck.com before going back and reading the materials for the puzzle. Then all of a sudden something clicked and I saw everything I needed, went back to geocheck and got it right on the first try this time! I also noticed I was at 699 caches found last night before going to sleep so decided to make this one good old #700 as a tribute to all the puzzle caches I have solved and plan to solve by Kaiwarrior. I didn't get a chance to head out to Greeley until later in the day and got stuck in standstill traffic on I-25, got lost a few times trying to take back roads, found a few caches on the way but "saved" their logs to make sure this one was officially #700, and even solved a few puzzles while waiting in traffic that I plan on turning in before heading back to Fort Collins. Also, when I arrived at GZ, I was afraid the cache would be missing since it had been so long since it was logged as found, but there it was! The container's lid was on the ground 10 feet away and the log was in terrible condition but it was still legible so I can use it for my "lonely cache" challenge and I was able to sign the log, replace the lid, and return it to what I assume is the original hiding spot. Thanks for a memorable adventure, awesome puzzle that I hadn't seen before, and helping me qualify for another challenge! Favorite here for sure, I only hope others start figuring this one out again as it was lots of fun all the way through!

I had this cache solved a while ago, but finally got over to the final location this afternoon. I found the cache lid separated from the cache container but the log was still in place. SL, and put everything back together. TFT puzzle and the cache.
