Solve the puzzle, go to the cache.


There is a circular area of 513432.5483 acres centered at N39 33.000, W105 03.600.
There is a circular area of 219144.6356 acres centered at N39 38.400, W104 51.000.
There is a circular area of 155348.6905 acres centered at N39 36.000, W104 39.600.

There is one point where all three circles intersect, or come close to it.
That is where the cache is.

Because of the inexactness of triangulation, the following information is given:
Last three digits of Latitude are 198. Last three digits of Longitude are 008.



The cache container is a camouflaged pill bottle in a tree.

On our way to the Thirsty Thursday event but first we had to stop and get our puzzle cache for the cay. Had solved this sometime ago but today was a perfect day to get it as it was less than 2 miles from the event. Made the walk to GZ and found the cache after a brief search. Everything is in good shape.

Today I dropped windatmyback at the airport and then went on a caching frenzy. I grabbed as many as possible before I had to return home to catch a flight to Nepal. This is my last day caching in Colorado for 3 weeks, so I made it a good one! Around 50 caches found.
This one took me a while to solve. But the hide was pretty quick. Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks. Tftc!

OK,
After doing some math and converting acres to square miles, I did the math to figure out the radius of each circle. Then I used GPS visualizer to plot the circles and see where they intersected. Bam! Lucky for me the final location is close to the house. No I just have to go find it. Hope I can :-)

Struggled with this one off and on for years until recently I found the error in my ways and solved this one.

Today was the day to go find it. I searched for it after dinner so the area was free of Muggles and the weather was perfect. Fortunately I was able to find it after a brief search and did the whole sign and replace thing quickly so I could get on to the next one. Thanks for another fun hide and puzzle.

What a day! 34 caches. 14 Traditional, 12 Puzzle, 3 Virtual, 2 Letterbox, 2 Multi and 1 Wherigo. I had been planning on a big day in Parker and while I didn’t get everything on my list, I got most of it and completed the Planetary Pursuit Souvenir challenge. Lots of great caches and good challenges. Here’s a little something about this one.

This was a tough puzzle. Multiple steps and I had to brush up on my geometry to solve it. But, I was able to solve it without outside help so I was pleased with that. That is definitely not always the case!

The find was pretty straight forward and all is in good shape here. It was fun to solve multiple Jim Reeb puzzles for this caching day.

Thanks for the hide Jim Reeb

So had a little help solving this awesome puzzle. Then today went for a walk on a beautiful day at lunchtime to make the find. Ouch! That hurt! Great placement and container.
Keeping our streak alive. Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher. Tftc

Looked and looked and looked and looked some more. Finally found it on the ground. Hung it back up but CO should check the placement. Nice puzzle and TFTC!

Working through the puzzle took some time, but in the end the map plot came pretty close. Thanks for a fun puzzle and a pleasant walk.

A friend of mine used this cache as an example of solving this type of puzzle. Came out today for a lovely winter walk with the dog. Found a 2nd container on ground, an old glass vial. Could this be the "lost" container from 2015? Signed the container hanging. Tftc!
