Had peaked at this one some time ago with no luck so I sat down this morning to look again. With some (I thought) clever deduction, I was on my way to a solution. Got the green light with no help! Which is a miracle for me. I headed out tonight and made quick work of it, despite recent logs indicating the actual cache giving people a hard time. Not for me luckily. Signed the log and moved on up the hill to revisit some recent DNFs. TFTC!

Poked around the wrong area for a bit before finally coming upon it. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find. TFTC.

Picked this one up while on the grandiosely titled "Q2 Run," trying to finish up the Planetary Pursuit event. Because I'm lazy and started the event late, I'm trying to pick up as many earthcaches, multi-caches, and mystery caches as possible to maximize points and minimize effort. I broke with my strategy of picking up easy puzzle caches by coming after this one. Puzzles from this CO are death and generally incomprehensible and unsolvable by me. However, I managed to do a mystic chicken dance and summon the spirit of Alan Turing to help me crack the code. Although he was rather cross when I asked him why he didn't bring Polish mathematicians to do the real work, he helped me nonetheless.
While solving the puzzle was near impossible, actually making it to the cache was only difficult. Accessing the cache area requires threading the needle with private property and residents who think public property is private property. I may be over exaggerating a bit, but I have a number of bad experiences with that, and enough bad luck to ensure I am challenged by folks more often than not; so I'm very sensitive to being in "exposed" positions. After a bit of foot recon, I realized my first selected dismount point was a bit too far from GZ and I didn't want my Xterra lingering where it will attract attention. Exploiting the capabilities of my smartphone, I found the closest parking spot possible. Although the trail threaded private property guarded by a dog, I was able to park and infiltrate to the trail without being barked at or challenged...yay! The container was proving to be a bit difficult to find, but I eventually noticed a small portion of orange blazing through the camo and then the jig was up.
I was ecstatic to solve the puzzle, happy to make the find, and very pleased to be in and out from the GZ within 10 minutes. Thanks to the CO for placing this nice cache (we will not talk about puzzles) for everyone to find, TFTC.

Fun puzzle, pretty hike on a gorgeous Colorado morning, quick find. SL Replaced as found. Thanks for an easier puzzle :O) and great caching area. Cache is in great shape.

I felt the CO hid the cache in this spot to lure us to higher ground after. I recognize this puzzle as well :-) Not sure why it took WingsAndTales so long to find it, she's usually much faster than that in this kind of terrain :-) Thanks for more fun!
