Geocache Description:






This geo-art consists of twenty-six Unknown/Mystery caches which each have a puzzle to solve in order to determine the coordinates of the final location (a container with log book and in most cases some swag). The final location may be a park & grab along a graded forest road (accessible with a 2WD car), a reasonably short hike or drive up a Jeep trail (may require 4WD or a high ground-clearance vehicle), or a short hike up a foot trail.


Edouard Fleissner von Wostrowitz

I used to play a lot of chess when I was younger, mostly with my friend Edouard. Some of these games would take days to finish, as each of us analyzed our options to great lengths, avoiding making an obvious mistake thus giving our opponent an easy victory. We would often grille each other with various scenarios, attempting to turn a bad situation into a good one...leading to a victory, rather than a loss. In particular, one game took us over a week to finish...and I'll remember it forever.



I was playing White, Edouard was playing Black, and it was my turn.
