Very challenging puzzle. I had to look to the sky for help. Today I came out to make the find and saw what others are talking about. Gotta love it when muggles help to conceal the cache.
Today after work I headed north (again) to find some caches. Not much to find in my neighborhood, so I have to migrate to find prey. Speaking of which, I saw many birds of prey. The weather was nice and caching was good. Only a few DNF's.
Thanks for the cache!

Enjoyed the puzzle. The new paint job made this slightly harder to find but made the grab. TFTC

Got a nudge for this from the puzzle group. The container got a little camo paint on it when the surrounding area got a face lift. Still have a few Stars to solve & find! TFTP SL

Struggled with this puzzle then finally got it solved. Made the quick find of the container and a dead little mouse laying nearby. Tftc

All is well with the cache.
The puzzle gave me a struggle, but I'm happy to have it done.

Working on the Star puzzles some more. Have 5 more left to solve. They are in a folder I pull out from time to time. Keep plodding away, maybe someday I'll get them all done. Received a nudge from a previous finder on this one. Thanks for another fun Star puzzle! Cache is in great shape. SL.

No trouble finding it, did have to get a bit of a nudge to get on the right track for the puzzle solution. Then had to get past one erroneously posted bit of information to get things to line up right for the solution. Always fun to dust off a long-unfound cache, it's in great shape though. TFTC

Finally had to get some help with the find to get this one. Just kept missing it... but it is there and all is fine with it.

I had a business meeting near the final this afternoon, and I just couldn't pass up the chance to find the last of the 25 stars I hadn't logged yet. I believe it's the first cache I've found while wearing a tie! My journey with Mondo's stars began in January 2009 and had a lot of rocky spots along the way. Thanks to help from him and a few other caching acquaintances, I was able to complete it less than 18 months after it started. Thanks, Mondou2 for a great, challenging and sometimes maddening series of caches. Luckily, the puzzle on this one was MUCH harder than the hide itself. The log is dry and the cache is in great shape, ready for the next cacher that comes along.

It's nice to finally get another one in this series. I thought I solved it awhile back but I was in the wrong area. Close but not the right spot. I had my answer checked and reworked the puzzle. I ran out today and got it. I signed the log.

I was very close to the right answer for about 5 months, then finally put it all together last week. I had fun doing the puzzle and I'm glad it wasn't a four star hide! SL, thanks!!

I had to truncate my caching this evening because of the rainstorm-- but, luckily, Star caches are well-known to be weather-friendly.
I made my grab about 20 minutes after the rains-- what an impressive display of lightning off to the north and east! In all the rainstorms we had over the last 2 months, I don't think any of them came close to producing this much lightning.
Thanks for the clue at the last event, Mondo! Another one to go.
