The cache IS NOT at the listed coordinates. Please read the full description below and then solve the puzzle so that you can sign the log.The puzzle which is posted below in the images section is called a Nonogram. It is very similar to a “color by numbers” puzzle which many of us did in elementary school. I will walk you through the instructions, you will solve it.
This particular puzzle is using a 10x10 grid. You must decide to either color or leave blank every one of the 100 squares. The end result is a picture that is made from the different colors that you designate for each square, those colors being black and white. The numbers you see measure how many unbroken sets of filled-in cells there are in any given row or column. A clue of "2 3 2" would mean there are sets of two, three and two black filled cells, in that order, with at least one white cell in between.
So, how does my puzzle give you coordinates to the final? Here is what you do. First off, solve my puzzle. Once solved you will take notice of a very obvious geocaching-related symbol. I have given three possible choices as to what this image will be, each with it’s own set of coordinates beside it that may or may not lead to the final / stage / non-physical stage (meaning that I could have hidden something at any of the coordinates below by using a non-physical stage, which would not interfere with geocaching .1 mile seperation guidelines). So you can blow off the puzzle and go for a long hike looking for clues, or solve the puzzle and get started faster. Either is fine, but the puzzle will be more fun.
Without further ado…
If the image is related to an Unknown cache type, go to N 39 05.387 W 104 54.336
If the image is related to a Webcam cache type, go to N 39 05.506 W 104 54.409
If the image is related to a Virtual cache type, go to N 39 05.545 W 104 54.785
The final is a container that is recognized by geocachers worldwide, and my personal favorite. Please cover it well to prevent muggling.

07/20/2018 By krazykatzen My spatial awareness is severely lacking. I attempted the puzzle and decided I had it figured out close enough. That was a fail, but then onto my 2nd guess that it simply had to be... whew! Glad to have another puzzle cache on the score board! Thanks for a fun hunt!
03/10/2018 By gampa&gamma Fun puzzle! Quick find. Signed log and replaced cache as found. Thanks for the cache.
01/29/2018 By coucou58 Out geocaching with Hammerhead53 & TexDoc56. Thanks TexDoc56 for solving this one. We signed the log THC. Thanks Tom.dog for this puzzle cache!
01/29/2018 By TexDoc56 I headed to Monument/Mt. Herman area with coucou58 and hammerhead53 The weather was great and we didn’t have to deal with too much snow. We signed the logs as ‘THC’. Solved this one some time ago and made the grab today. Cache is in good shape, TFTC.
