This cache is a two part multi with the first location being a field puzzle.


At the first stop you will find an interesting set of tubes. Use them to figure out what the final coordinates are. I will tell you now that the north latitude is 39 degrees and the west longitude is 105 degrees. You have to figure out the minutes in the format of xx.xxx using the device.

I would be interested in knowing your opinion of my difficulty rating.

It was a weedy trail on the day I hid this cache but I suspect you could still get there with a bicycle. I walked down the same trail to both locations.

Don't mess with the bird house at the final!

Found WP1 without issues and found the puzzle.
Spent some time collecting number, but could not find all.
Then you try it with logic and try to get the missing numbers.
When that failed, I got back to using my experience and geosences (and luck).
Ended up with the container in hand and was able to log.
Thanks for the puzzle (I am sure it is solvable, just not for me this evening) and the cache.

Got the possible coordinates from the first location and were going to solve back at the house, however we decided to continue along the trail as described in the log description. My son was in full geosense and spotted the second cache while walking. My daughter then spotted the birdhouse, and told my that was more difficult to spot. TFTC.

Favorite puzzle so far. It was a nice day so we got to spend A LOT of time just sitting there working it out until finally I had an epiphany. I assume the middle tube can have it's caps removed, otherwise it would be too difficult to rotate the inner tube.

Got to see some nice scenery as well. Easy favorite!

I'd like to say logic and geosenses won out when we couldn't solve the puzzle but dumb luck would be more accurate. I'm glad COpackrat shared her late night epiphany with me so I'm no longer scratching my head and speaking caveman. TFTC

D'uh, I get it now... Out with WingsAndTales today to find some multis, and spent quite a while here fiddling with this field puzzle before just taking off and looking around. Didn't get the epiphany until late last night, but we were able to make the find and sign the log. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience geocaching like the cave men used to do it – by hanging a rock around their necks so it would keep smacking them in the ribs while they walked around looking on the ground... ;-)

1:22:00 PM Out with Garlic this morning doing trailwork at Hildebrand Park for National Trails Day. Thanks! Very nicely done. There is poison ivy at Wp #1. I had to walk back to the parking lot to get Garlic, because I couldn't get the first WP open. Decoded and had a pleasant walk to the second . Thanks!
