Took a hint

I thought my huggle would enjoy looking up the answers for this one so he solved it for me with a little input from me for R which seems to be questionable. I needed a puzzle find for today & this one fit in.

Nicely done. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide.

Solved the puzzle with a bit of research. Could not get the checker to agree . Turns out there is one question that has been questioned but went with CO's answer and checker was happy. Found the cache on a chilly day after some searching. Great hide !

The location made sense but I struck out here. Not sure if it was the motion detector or simply the location made me decide to cut this short. Some homeless guy had been sleeping in the corner or so it seemed. That makes the search less appealing all around

Tftc! Dad spotted this one very quickly.

Walking up to this one, I knew exactly what to expect. Another bulky, awkward pine tree container. I wasn't disappointed. After all, T5M caches are known to be easy and the water reference was a clear hint to the thirst of pine trees. I put the cache back on the ground, near a pile of poo and a sprinkler (exactly as found) and wandered away in my dementia. Grabbed this one with @intrepiidexplorer specifically for find #3,333. Tftc!

I was out and about caching with herndonrd when we decided to grab benj59 before looking for this one. I did what I do best and ruled out all the places where you didn't put it (not that it matters since none of us will put it back in the right spot ever again). I put up with the cheerful demeanor of herndonrd because he finds difficult caches like this one, and I firmly believe that one's likeability is directly related to his or her skills at finding a cache (which is why I don't like my children and only consider benj59 an acquaintance). After we did the whole sign and replace thing we celebrated our victory by getting in the car and driving off to another one.

I enjoyed this puzzle in part because it gets me very close to finally completing the Uber Mystery Challenge (less than thirty to go). In addition, finding a puzzle today helps with another puzzle (canned language about my insanity to follow).

I chose today to look for this one because I signed an insane challenge in California that requires me to find a puzzle cache on every calendar day of the year (save February 29th) in order to meet the logging requirements. I am thrilled to be one day closer to completing the challenge, though I still have just over sixty days to go. Thanks for the fun puzzle, hide, and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (human or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

Out caching with FeartheFish and we swung by to get Benj59. With the help of the CO I had solved the puzzle and been there yesterday with no luck. The three of us started looking all over the GZ and I luckily spotted it in a place I had looked at least 3 or 4 times. Everyone did the happy dance and then replaced the container where it belongs (I don't know what Benj59 was talking about :-)). Another difficult T5M cache. Give it a fav! TFTC!
