This cache is placed in honor of my mother. She is a world-class cribbage player, an excellent geocacher, and the best mother in the whole world. I love you, Mom! Happy Mother's Day!


**CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES**
**SOLVE THE PUZZLE BELOW TO FIND THE CACHE**
In order to solve the puzzle, you must figure out the value of these cribbage hands. For some, this will be fairly quick. For others, not so much.

The cache is located at:
39 AB.CD
104 E.FG

A = (K5A38)x(A7963)
B = (45678)-(K5K88)
C = (Q4794)+(A38910)
D = (AA223)+(A767A)+(5KK89)
E = (5555Q)+(33669)+(AA678)
F = (78987)/(4567A)
G = (44744)+(26767)

A BIG CONGRATS TO oldkingog FOR FTF!!!

We first solved and attempted to find this cache weeks ago. When we couldn't find it we showed the CO our coords and discovered we had one wrong number. Corrected that and today was the day to try our luck again. A bit worried when we got to GZ and saw there had been some recent tree trimming. Happily a few minutes later we found the cache !

I knew nothing about cribbage before solving this puzzle, and unfortunately after solving it some time ago it would seem I couldn't retain that information.

I did remember how to find a cache, though! This was pretty easy - we signed the log, and thanks for the puzzle and cache.

Always feels good to avenge a DNF. My original solution took me to a location near someone’s house. I didn’t think that was right so I contacted the CO who told me to check my work, just like your math teacher always said, and once I did I went straight to the container. TFTC

I've tried to find this one a couple of times, but no luck.

It’s probably there, I just couldn’t come up with it. Disappointed as it was recently replaced.

I do not know cribbage. But I was with a friend who knows. He quickly solved the puzzle. The find was quick too.

Out on a maintenance run today. It appears that the host of this container was indeed trimmed away. Hid a new container. Hopefully it will last.

Hoped to find this one today, since I love playing cribbage! Looks like this tree has had a haircut recently...or maybe I'm blind...but either way, DNF for me.

Got some coords from solving the puzzle at the kitchen table last week that looked cache-worthy. Wasn't sure though without a geochecker and my rustiness at cribbage, especially those high point hands! Junior geocacher YAGDC and I made the find this morning after a brief search. Yay, the coords were right! Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the puzzle!

Caching our way home after the Another Lame Event (ALE) #32 at the Bull &Bush. We had tried this cache before the event and had no luck. While at the event we got some help from Lost in Denver and it turns out my coords were off a few numbers. So we returned to make the find and get a DNF off of our list, WHEW!!!! Very nice hide and camo, SL,TFTC

I looked for this cache after solving the puzzle one time in the past. But it was dark and I was too cold, and unable to make the find. Today I came out in the snow and the cold and it was easier to find. This is my 99th puzzle cache. Fifteenth cache of the day. I hope to find 20 today in the snow. Tftc!

I knew absolutely nothing about Cribbage, but after some Googling, I came up with a solution that turned out to be right! Signed log. Thanks for an interesting cache that's a nice tribute to your mother!
