The cache IS at the posted coordinates, however to log this cache as "found" you must meet specific requirements.  Check below to understand the challenge.

Congratulations Denali41 on FTF!

This is the Mystery Cache Challenge.  Moose love puzzles, and moose love mysteries, so please go find some mystery caches!

To log this cache as found, you must have found at least 15 mystery caches on the same CALENDAR day.  Mystery caches are any caches with the "?" symbol, and you can use challenge caches or puzzle caches to qualify, however this cache will NOT count towards the 15 in one day.  Previous days with 15 or more count for this challenge.  If you do not post information from a GSAK macro/plugin or list all the GC codes and the day you found all 15 I may delete your log.

GeoArt Caches will count for this challenge, and as such this challenge will be easier for some to qualify for than others, so I challenge you to try to do this without doing a power trail, but do it whichever way you'd like!

My example: Mystery       19       10/10/2014

While visiting my sister in Colorado Springs I was astounded by how many puzzles and challenge caches they have, which is why I'm working hard to add plenty more to the Fort Collins area.  I was able to turn 19 in during one day while running around in circles because I didn't organize ahead of time and had to retrace my steps more times than I could count, and that was with finding other types of caches in-between.

Puzzles and challenges aren't for everyone, so remember this cache isn't mandatory.  You may also sign the log and do a "write note" until you have qualified for this challenge, at which point you can change it to "found".  This cache is meant to reward people who enjoy mystery caches as much as I do, and gives you a little extra incentive to see how many you can solve and turn in during one day!

The difficulty and terrain rating are based upon the fact that you will have to log a combination of 15 puzzles and/or challenges in a single day, and the travel time between them.  The cache itself is a small container which should be very easy for you to find.

I drive past this challenge cache every other day. Initially, there were lots of unfound caches in this area so I didn't pay it much mind but now all those caches have been changed to smilies so the remaining blue question mark really sticks out and kept taunting me Wink. I finally decided to start focusing on it by assembling a set of mystery caches and yesterday, I set out to find enough for this challenge. Unfortunately I planned somewhat poorly and initially thought only 10 were required. At least I double checked and caught my error in time to head out and snag 5 more caches before the end of the day. It definitely made work a bit more painful this morning but finally putting pen to paper on this one and knowing I satisfied the requirements made it all worth while! Whew - thanks for the motivation to step out of my comfort zone, solve some puzzles, and reach a goal!

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Le 4 et le 5 septembre nous étions dans la région de Colorado Spring, CO... Aujourd’hui nous nous dirigeons vers Fort Collins, CO...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... On September 4th and 5th we were in the Colorado Spring area, CO ... Today we are heading to Fort Collins, CO

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC

Signed, will upgrade to smiley as soon as I confirm I’ve completed this one; a setup rather than do it seems.
