Here's a simple puzzle. Solve for the common words, expressions, clichés, phrases, etc. and the rest should fall in place.
Good luck and have fun!
The terrain is somewhat steep so good hiking shoes are recommended - watch out for cactus!
Don't forget to write down the code for Code #7 to be able to solve for 'Tecolote "Puzzle" Canyon #20 - Finale!' or you'll have to go back again.
It's bad caching karma to rip papers from the log - bring a writing instrument and a piece of paper with you.
Fine Print:
I will not confirm, check, verify, look at, clarify, corroborate, substantiate, authenticate, validate, or give personal hints until all 20 puzzles have been solved. It's only fair since there are some hardcore puzzle solvers that are toiling with these puzzles. However, if you e-mail me where you are stuck and the puzzle has not been solved for an extended period of time, I can add hint(s) to the listing for everybody to see. Feel free to send me an e-mail whenever you are stuck, but don't expect a personal reply until all 20 are solved.
Instead of writing notes in the cache log as a as a way to communicate with each other, you can discuss the puzzles in this thread in the forums, but no blatant hints or spoilers please. Keep that off-line!
