My First Cache (Not Really!)

04/10/2019 By Dud&Plato
Definitely a team effort on this find today. It was a good mix or rain and snow while we hunted this one, but BriaTeragram made quick work of the puzzle aspect of it, and I've seen the hide style once or twice before. The conditions made it a bit more tricky, but I was impressed to come up with a dry log regardless. A fun and fairly quick multi - just what was on the radar today. That certainly didn't make it any less fun - if anything, all the more so! Thanks for having a variety of caches in the area. Certainly, look forward to coming back and getting a couple more smiles in the area. Everything with this cache is in great shape. For now, however - Thanks for the multicache!

Took a couple tries to figure out how to correctly use the numbers, but managed to solve this multi along with the second one near by. Due to the snow and cold we only managed to actually snag this particular multi to make our 8th icon of 11 for the day. We will have to come back again and explore the area and sign our names to the other nearby caches. This is a great area and I hope I can explore it again soon when the weather is nicer. TFTC|SL

Thank you for the quick multi. The container had taken in a bunch of water but the baggie held up and kept the log dry.

I was in the area last week catching up on some of the new Invasion caches & solved this field puzzle along the way but know I was going to be in the area again for the CITO event I decided to wait to find the final. With DST effective now I had plenty of time to find it with direction from the CO.

This interesting multi was a fitting challenge for us to find our 250th multi cache. We are now off to find Jason's multicast Challenge and hopefully sign that log too. Thanks for making us work hard

Found with animjason, Bhob, and the CO. Needed a nudge on this one. I stayed warm in the car while they signed the final. Thanks!

Thanks herndonrd! Logged My First Cache (Not Really!) from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Went for a drive around the southern metro area with "animjason" and "BearAdair" - this was the first of four geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Admittedly needed help with what to do with the numbers. Was great seeing the CO, and traveling to the final with him, BearAdair, and Bhob.

Loved the final style. An oldie, but goodie you don't see often. Thanks. Have a great birthday next week!

I believe this is multi find #445 in my quest to #500.

Had to do several trials with the numbers at GZ, but persistence paid off. Nice hide! Signed log. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache!

I struggled with all the numbers I found at the first stage. Even after I got a correct checksum I doubted the coords could be right but I decided to give it a go. First glance revealed nothing. Then, using my vehicle as cover I inspected closer and made the find. Sl, thanks!

This was a very frustrating cache for us !! So close to our house ! and we couldn't solve it. Found the numbers but what to do with them?? It didn't help that we misinterpreted one part so that really led us down the wrong path. Finally we got a hint from a previous finder, kicked ourselves and solved the puzzle. Found the cache today - log is dry and all in good condition. So happy to have this smiley !!!

The plan was to go out and about caching with the lovable herndonrd (i.e. the cache owner [also known as you]) to grab a first to find and whatever else tickled our fancy for the day. However, I needed to get my son's bike fixed first and since I was in the area while that was being done I decided to look for this cache. It took me a couple minutes until I arrived at an acceptable solution, and then went to search for the final once the bike repair was complete. I was convinced that the cache was hidden a certain way so it took me longer to find than it should have. Once I did find the container, there was much rejoicing. After I did the whole sign and replace thing I celebrated my victory by hopping back in to the car and headed off to Parker to meet the cache owner (i.e. you [also known as herndonrd]) in the hopes of getting a first to find (which we did, but you [i.e. herndonrd ] already knew that). Thanks for the fun hide and for your contribution to a great day of caching.

P. S. No animals (including humans or PayMeCache) were harmed in the writing of this log. Some animals were eaten later at lunch.

FTF] at 11:18 pm with [@WindAtMyBack . So, yesterday, I'm laying in the hotel in Minnesota when my phone chirps - FTF in Denver! But I'm 600 miles away, still in my skidmark stained, torn plaid boxers I bought with my own hard earned money in 1994. I just knew that my geo-friends in Colorado would snatch this multi up within minutes. 26 and a half minutes passed without a find. What's going on back there!?! I knocked the three empty Diet Coke cans off my belly, threw the Ace bandage on my knee and started searching for tickets back home. Sure enough, the next morning, still no finds.
I wrangled @WindAtMyBack into the rental Pinto and drove back to the airport. We flew into DIS and saw that our biggest nightmare had come true - clearly, a nuclear attack on my beloved city. White ash covered the ground and mutants huddled around the embers of the still burning alley piles. No wonder @T5M @2lablovers @fearthefish and @PayMeCache hadn't found it. They probably passed gently in the night as missiles rained on their roofs.
Luckily I keep 2 AA batteries in my TOTT kit and we were able to start my indestructible FJ. Headed to the first stage to solve this simple puzzle. In the dark, slight rain, with a dying battery. No problem, right? I forgot I was dealing with a Bob puzzle. The math didn't add up no matter what I tried. I thought of calling Bob to let him know that he messed up the puzzle. But wait, one last idea.... got it.
Hurried over to the final (not for fear of being beaten, but rather because @WindAtMyBack has a birthday in 40 minutes.
Found a familiar container with a blank log. Signed it and grabbed the FTF coin.
We just flew back for this FTF. Headed back to DIA. Just kidding.
Love the clever puzzle! Tftc!
