The cache is NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES but you could park there. Or you could park much closer to where the cache is. In order to determine the correct coordinates of the cache you'll have to figure out what the Grid of Mystery is all about.

I would be interested in what you think about the difficulty of this puzzle so that I can adjust the cache difficulty accordingly. I'll start it with a 3.

There is no need to climb any fences - just follow the path around it. You will find the "useful waypoint" waypoint useful. Watch out for horses especially on weekends.

Here is the Grid of Mystery:

Great puzzle. Really enjoyed it. The log is dry , but there is a small amount of smelly fluid in the cache. Thanks

Enjoyed solving this puzzle and the walk to the final. It surprised us as we were signing the log that a car drove past us. Who'da thunk it. Now a lizard is leading me back up the path to our car. Tftc

This was awesome. I had solved this shortly after it came out. Absolutely LOVE the concept. This is probably my favorite puzzles of yours. Never seen anything exactly like it. A little confusing at first, and then once it started coming together it was beautiful. As I have mentioned on previous logs, I'm slowly working towards finding a puzzle cache every day of the year. Still a long ways to go. I need one every day of this week, but this will be the only one I get. The joys of working. :)

I had to run a few errands though and after the little afternoon rating it was a perfect Colorado evening. These are the kind of evenings I remember as a kid, vacationing in CO in the summer. Walking in the cool of the evening with my family.

I took the "long" way to get here and it was a very pleasant walk. Hadn't been on this part of the trail before. After a nice little off the path walk I found myself at GZ. That "Useful Waypoint" was indeed quite a useful waypoint!

After struggling with the last puzzle with a similar hide, this one was a breeze and I spotted it right away. TNLNSL.

Thank you for making the perfect puzzle and hide. Something challenging, but not impossible or esoteric. And a hide that got me outside walking on a beautiful evening with a little bit of off the beaten path fun and a nice size hide at the end. This absolutely deserves every favorite point it will get!


Thanks for the hide cajrrman

Solved shortly after it published - teamed up with "animjason" and "BearAdair" to go and sign the log - we enjoyed our walk in the open space. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

This was the main target today as we like to find all the CO's caches. Found with BearAdair, and Bhob. Bhob solved this unique and awesome puzzle first then helped me figure it out. Very cool. Gets a fave.

Thanks cajrrman! animjason logged Grid of Mystery from a twentieth galaxy using c:geo!
