A good afternoon of caching with BriGuy - Best Wishes

After a few attempts at solving this puzzle, a previous finder gave me a shove in the right direction. Enjoyed the walk to GZ. Log was wet, but we were in no hurry, so we sat around and let the log sit in the sun until it was dry.
Out and about with dustyriver this afternoon.

A bit worried when we started our search for this one - it had been almost a year since the last find. However, after searching a few minutes we made the find. Log a bit damp but singable. Thanks for the puzzle and cache.

Fun one. We barked up 3 wrong trees before solving the puzzle. My daughter helped and both girls helped with the find. TNLNSL TFTC

Wow, my second sleuthers cache of the day! Given my profession I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I needed a hint for the second step of the puzzle, but then again I'm used to a slightly different notation which makes a huge difference. Very nice neighborhood of the final, and for once the cache was in the first place I looked. Thanks for a puzzle that wasn't so simply stated in my case.

It appears that your geocache has been under the weather for a while now. Geocaches that need repair or maintenance should generally be taken care of within a few weeks. Please check on this geocache to repair/replace it and post a log to indicate you have done so, or archive it and pick up any remaining cache contents as soon as possible. Once the geocache has been replaced and/or you have verified that it is OK, you can go ahead and enable it. Please contact me if you have any questions. If there is no evidence that the cache has gotten attention (e.g. cache enabled, or note posted to cache page) or I have not heard from you about this cache in a few weeks it may need to be archived.

Thank you,
