Headed out geocaching with friends today, targeting some puzzles we mulled over in a group zoom last night. Another one we sent KenyanSherpa up for.
Anything we haven’t already found and numbers are todays goal. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to find.

I was so close to getting the correct coordinates on this one but needed a nudge last night. At that point the brilliant suggestion was made, "Let's meet in Parker and go get this one as well as a few others in the area." So, this morning we did just that and so glad we did, as it was a beautiful day with outstanding company (TurtleBoy29, FayColSalTom, and Edwards654)!! Plus, thanks to CoPuG for creating an educational puzzle and a fun hide!! I loved the accoutrement attached to the container too!

I was on the right track on this one but not close enough. Discovered a website to keep in mind in the future. Solved with puzzle group last night and several of us came out this morning to get them. Need this DT for next fizzy. Thanks for the adventure

A subset of the Puzzle Solving Group (TurtleBoy29, FayColSalTom, KenyanSherpa, and Edwards654) met up in Parker this morning to search for the three PUG puzzle caches that published recently. Accessing the final container was no challenge for our Everest-summiting Doug while under the watchful eye of the rest of the team. Thanks to all involved!!!
