Mrs. Herndonrd had a horse thing between Longmont and Boulder so I spent a couple of days getting some virtuals, earthcaches, and assorted others up in the area. FeartheFish tagged along for part of it. TFTC!

I've had this solved for years... Finally made the trip down here to find it! Cache was in plain sight, signed the replacement log sheet, and tucked it away a bit better. TFTC!

Went home, rechecked a few things, know there’s a problem with the puzzle now but it does put you in the area of GZ (easy enough to estimate a more specific where and get the gel checker to agree). Do love the puzzle and more than willing to give a hint on how to help others. Appreciate the puzzle.

No joy today. When I got there solution showed in a field and I wasn’t go in (to much traffic and crops were there). I’ll check my solution and go again in the future.

Back in late 2013 I work a little bit solving some of the "-TwoCs- is Puzzled" series of caches and was successful at solving four of them - #3, #8, #10, and #11. I found and logged 8, 10, and 11 but #3 got archived because it was washed away in the flood of September 2013.

Recently I decided to work some more on the series. I discovered that #7 had also been archived so that left me with seven puzzles to ponder. I had time before family arrived for Thanksgiving to solve four of the seven - #1, #2, #6, and #9. Plus I even solved #7 because I was having so much fun with them all. I worked on #4 and #5 for quite a bit of time before I broke down and asked TwoCs for a nudge. I received a quick response and with the new hints I worked through those two and got good geochecks. That just left #12, the hardest of them all.

I had looked at #12 off and on over the last few years and nothing seemed to make sense. But sometimes what appears to be a lost cause turns to gold. This time when I picked it up I quickly came up with a promising idea. After some playing with my method for less than 30 minutes, I had a successful geocheck!

Today I headed south from my home in Loveland to seek out the containers for the seven caches. I mapped out a path before leaving home and it worked out very well. I was able to find all seven containers! Only #12 gave me trouble but I did find it.

Thanks -TwoCs- for this great series of challenging puzzles!!!
