The cache is not at the given coordinates.

I met a very strange person while out caching the other day. He was hidden behind a shrubbery and I naturally assumed he was a geocacher, but I didn't spot the telltale GPS nor the familiar acknowledgment as he spotted mine. Nethertheless, he ran up to me and started vigorously shaking my hand. "Hi my name is Brendan". Now this is puzzling, because I don't think I know any Brendans, but I responded  "Hello Brendan, I'm Neil".

"I've, er, mislayed my pet orangutan Constance while exercising her". How on earth does one mislay an orangutan I thought, and why would anyone call her Constance?! "Can you help me search for Constance?" said Brendan. Ah, just like a cache that moves - I mused. "Er, yeah sure, where did you last see her?". So we spent a fun couple of hours hunting for a lost orangutan. Eventually we found her sitting on a humongous tower of bananas. A pile perfect for a monkey!

I'm trying something new this time for checking coordinates. This has nothing to do with the puzzle. They use certitude a lot in California. I think it has a better interface and allows bonus information to be displayed when the puzzle is solved.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Glad to find another cache. Our luck is changing. Thank goodness I wrote down the method for solving this one or I would have forgotten this one two. Isn't it sad when you congratulate yourself more for writing down the method than for figuring it out in the first place. TFTC

Chihuahuas-3 and I are out today finding caches as fast as we can to get points for Planetary Pursuit. We have been working hard on puzzle caches in our area and hopefully we'll find a bunch of them! Thank you for the cache and for adding to our fun!

Out with the Golden B's finding some of the puzzle caches we have solved along with some additional caches to try to fulfill the Planetary Pursuit and earn all of the souvenirs. Sure hope the day goes well! Thanks for helping us out with this cache.

We headed out to go grab some puzzles caches that we have saved for the "Planetary Pursuit Challenge". After that we traveled to Aurora to grab a few more caches while stopping to have lunch at our favorite Mexican Restaurant "La Cueva". We searched the area for about 20 minutes and had no luck. We contacted the previous finder and he told us where we had looked was where the cache was hidden. We searched some more and it looks like it has gone MIA!. We placed a similar container with log as described by the previous finder to keep cache going. SL, TFTC
