Comment on Baffling Puzzles by Aaron

I really enjoy wooden puzzles (basically fancy jigsaw puzzles). I have not done this, so maybe this could be a challenge for someone, but I thought a real fun activity would be to have 1 puzzle piece at each clue/cache location. Once you had the entire puzzle put together (say 15 pieces or so) you would have a clue to find the “final” cache. So basically a puzzle within a puzzle. I don’t have the time to do this, but thought I would post this and maybe someone would be able to run with the idea!

Several Years ago, I hunted a cache (I don’t want to give anything away as it is still active.). The person took some letters that means something with the name of the cache and put it in the clue. When decoded, obviously three letters appear. The owner then gave a date that was relevant to the name. When I went to the site, I found a Transformer amongst a bunch of shrubs, trees, and lampposts. I immediately saw why the owner named the cache and date the way it was. I had to chuckle, because the Maintenance tag for the transformer was identical to the coded letters with the date.

I spent visit after visit searching the trees, shrubs, and lamppost for the micro. Finally, in frustration I decided to carefully peel of the transformers maintenance tag. It popped right off, and it turned out it was a flat sheet magnet. On one side was the letters and date. On the other was the log.

I recently started using Sanyo eneloop rechargeables in my Oregon 300 and Fenix LED torch and they’re great. They hold a charge while in your bag, unlike other rechargeables, so they’re always ready to go. They’re good for your wallet AND the environment!

We have corresponded with him several times and he has always proven to be reliable and prompt. I have no reason to believe you’ll have any problems, based on our experience.
