What a nice multi-level puzzle. We got the initial levels and then we got stuck. Thankfully Kenyansherpa was willing to help and gave us a hint. Then everything fell into place and we were able to solve it. This morning we parked our vehicle close to the school and used the trail to get to GZ. We have never hiked in this valley before and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Unusual container. We left a bit of swag and a pencil and grabbed the resident trackable. Giving a favorite point. Tftc.

Sehr interessanter Behälter, ich eine Weile gelächelt, froh, dass es nicht echt war, oder Sie würden lächeln.
Vielen Dank für ein anderes Rätsel und einen lustigen Behälter, nach dem man suchen kann!

When she saw this new mystery cache was submitted by a "legend" in "tradecraft", gamma jumped right in with "intelligence assessment"..........and bombed. Fortunately she didn't need to resort to a "cut-out" but attempted another "cryptanalysis" and "cracked" the code.

After leaving a "false flag operation" earlier in the day, gamma enlisted gampa for this "clandestine" "dead drop" at GZ. Fortunately no "dry cleaning" was necessary as this beautiful area was deserted today.

After careful "surveillance" gamma and gampa left their "microdot" on the log sheet and replaced the skeptical-looking CITO host as found. Great "concealment device!"

Kudos to Rob14erGuy for carrying out his "espionage" under the cover of darkness-----how many cactus quills did you take home in YOUR shoes?!

Favorite point for a first-rate "Tom Clancy" cache.

It was a nice walk to the cache this morning (at a reasonable 9am hour Smile) on some trails I seem to be using a lot lately. Fun puzzle and nice hide, thanks!

Knowing this was a kenyansherpa cache, I was motivated to figure this mystery out. Things all came together and I had it solved shortly after it got published. I wanted to go get it last evening but my wife said she didn't want me going out hiking late at night. I figured it's always wise to listen to my wife so I went to bed... for awhile.
A few hours later with my usual insomnia, I started thinking, "Well, it's no longer late at night. It's now early in the morning!" So, I snuck out of bed at 2am and made my way over to the trailhead. Having my trusty flashlight in hand and bundled up to withstand the 9 degree temperature, I set off and found the cache in good shape.
Signed FTF at 3:30am and traded trackables! (Thanks for the prize!)
Thanks for an excellent puzzle and hide, Doug. Keep 'em coming!
Now, let's see if I can sneak back in bed!
