Find #4566 @ 7:05:00 AM on 4/23/2019:

Visiting Boulder on business and I was looking for some mystery caches to help me with a Mystery Placed Date challenge that I'm working on. This cache filled one of the open dates I had so I started working on trying to solve it on the airplane. Eventually I was able to piece together the multiple layers and get an answer that looked good so this morning I got up early so that I could find the cache and get some exercise before a full day of meetings.

Lots of rabbits on the way to the cache and since it was early I had the place mostly to myself except for the occasional biker or runner. Coordinates got me to a place that looked promising although there were lots of places to look. I was fixated on one type of hide and then found something that could have easily been a cache container on the ground near ground zero. I expanded my search, high and low, still nothing and starting to assume the container I found might have been the cache even though there were no geocaching specific markings and no log inside.

I made one more pass and something I saw in one of the previous logs made me check something I had passed by on my previous searches and sure enough there was the almost completely buried cache, very hard to spot. Cache is in good shape and not quite as buried as it was, but well covered.

Thanks for a puzzle that my S/O and I solved together. He's an electrical engineer, and I am "the queen of the internet". Or so he claims. Anyway, this was a quick find. SL about 6:20 PM, and will upload an edited photo later. TFTC!

Searched for this one for quite a bit but just couldn't make the find. Very windy but not many muggles out. I'm sure it's here but no luck :-(

Once we figured out the coords we were able to get to the right area and after some searching we came up with the cache. SL.

I solved the puzzle and googled mapped the coordinates. They looked good. Out on a run in Boulder today and drive to my final. Oops, the area looked wrong and no close likely hiding spots. Luckily, I was with Lord Mike who spotted an error in my solution and we corrected them. Drove to a better spot and walked to the new coordinates. Looked a bit and I was able to find the cache. A fun puzzle and hide.

Lots of frisbee activity going on this morning. Finding the cache took a bit of up-and-down effort, but finally I zeroed in on a nice little hiding spot and found what I was looking for. Thanks Barngineer for an "irresistable" puzzle and for verifying my coordinates.

The Frisbee park sure was a popular place today. Thanks for the puzzle!
