I looked at this one many times before the solution became clear. Out with COpackrat today and made the grab. TFTC

First I need to apologize for the long log, but I have had people from all over the world tell me that they would like to have seen more in our logs, not only about their cache specifically but more on the amazing journeys that we take and haven't documented well in the past. Now, if you would like to skip to information that is specific to the cache, please skip to the bottom to see there is anything helpful. Only 25% of the time do we provide something that we either didn't read in another log or something that we felt needed to be added for clarity or a nudge in the right direction.

This geocaching trip was two weeks and designed to make up for the six months that we gave up dreaming, wishing, designing, and building the GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit. TTO1 and I are two of the 4 "Builders" of the GPS Maze Adventures Exhibit, and Kiecker the third. All three of us cache together a lot, and this trip was no different. Kiecker didn't get the entire two weeks in with us but was with us a majority. It was extremely helpful to productivity on several caches that he had already found in some of the areas that we visited.

We started north from Dallas to Oklahoma, and the trip would find us at the end finding caches in nine States. Near the beginning, we had to stop for a daughter's college graduation in Denver. Boy, I despised that stop as I had to abandon my geocaching accoutre for something professional and "suitable," my wife demanded. So, the next day, I got her back taking her on caching excursion to the tree and snow line that started with a 22-mile dirt road trek. Sure glad we had the right vehicle for this portion of the trip. The rest of the trip we could have done fine with just a two-wheel drive.

One of the more memorable stops was again in South Dakota. We stayed up too late and had a great visit with not only the Famous SoDakZak but also with a group of cachers that we had just seen at the Maze. Just a great group of folks.

Several of the days we spent threading the proverbial storm needle. Unlike the other group, we were able to circumnavigate all the inclement weather. Just know, this was not by design. We have all the wet weather gear one could put on thinking that we would have to do most of this trip in torrential downpours. As luck would have it, just the vehicle got the brunt of the pounding rain on a couple of the longer driving leg of our sojourn.

Another new thing we tried this trip was to do like we see a lot of folks are doing with videotaping. We love the longer hikes, extremely lonely caches, and higher rated caches. Adrenaline junkies, we aren't, as we carry a lot of safety gear just in case, but in the end, we found that we suck at it. We are hoping to find someone that will join us on our trips that is a good videographer and doesn't mind the >10Km hikes with 1200 ft elevation change and being 65-100 feet up in a tree. Till then we will just take and post pictures.

We would be remiss if we didn't thank all the geocachers that in some way added to this game/sport/hobby/obsession with their individual hides and varying levels of effort that they put into their geocaches. We don't award a lot of favorite points but this trip had inordinate amount given compared to previous trips. We also ended up on this trip making two remarkable achievements of our own - even if we do say so our selves. 25k finds and 2nd Original Fizzy Loop. We did have ambitions to beat our old record of counties in a day but the weather and flooding were not going to allow that to happen.

Here below is the aforementioned area where we provide relevant information specific to this cache:

This one is in great shape.

I'm in the process of solving as many geoarts and Puzzles in the Texas area and some neighboring states.I'm leaning to start in Colorado Springs and travel thru Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and finally Texas and take about 10 days doing so. My main focus would be to sign the oldest caches in each state as I'm very close to finishing my Jasmir and something I would like to complete this year. Anything else I sign on this adventure is just another bonus in my books.You Never Know Where The Road Will Take You or who you will meet on your path. The hard part for some is actually getting on the road. I’m not afraid of the road; I play on the road!

Difficult puzzle but the cache owner was willing to supply an extra hint. Once solved it was an easy find. TFTC

CarlottaP and I spent the last month solving puzzle caches in preparation for our trip to GeoWoodstock. Thanks for all your great puzzles!!

Oaknest and I solved a lot of puzzle caches ahead of our trip to Colorado for GeoWoodstock. Some of these puzzles were easier to solve than others. We had to brush up on our math and science knowledge and for a few we got help from a biochemist friend. The caches in trees were hard to spot, but we liked the hide style. Thanks for all the puzzle caching fun!
