Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted location!!!!

Not for the fainthearted!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t be a Turkey!! At least try. Most puzzles rely on knowledge. This one relies on reasoning, trial and error and patience. Of course, a little bit of woman’s intuition would be a great advantage.

Start your quest with plenty of energy as you are going to need it. At least 10 hours should be required to complete this one. My goal was to design a cache that would have some of the same characteristics of the pre-Myst PC adventure games with their puzzles, searching, etc. Home in on your thoughts quickly and you will succeed. Page through all your Geocaching skills at different stops along the way. To put it simply, this ain’t easy. Continue through each stage cautiously…or you may end up in a box canyon.

Yes, it’s all about the numbers, so I wanted to make my 100th hide a bit of a challenge. It has aspects of Nifty Fifty, D. Sifer and Roll Dem Bones (Biff is my Hero). Additionally, look for a "Survivor" aspect to the FTF Reward challenge. There are five parts with 5 different levels of difficulty. Contrary to Nifty Fifty, the levels of difficulty are not in any particular order.

Your reward for finding this cache is a Smiley Face. However, like any reward, it should be earned by you…not someone else. If you get any outside help from other than the owner of the cache, you didn’t earn the cache, so please don’t take the reward.

There is a special reward for FTF. This is a reward challenge. Wanna know what you are playing for? The reward starts at $10.00 and increases by $10.00 each 5 days until it reaches a maximum of $100.00. It then decreases each 5 days until we are back to $10.00. It will then stay at $10.00 until found. I’m confident some of you can find it in a couple of days. If you are greedy and hold out until the value increases, someone may jump in ahead of you. The first name and date on the cache log wins! Mondo got my last monetary reward of $50.00. Who will get this one?

Completing this quest will be impossible for most, difficult for some and probably relatively easy for A-Z, Jim Reeb, Mtnbirders and ernie66. They have the Right Stuff.
