The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is within two miles.
I've been working on this off and on for a few months, and with the help of another geocacher I've done my best to minimize the potential ambiguity in the puzzle. Feedback is always appreciated. In-theme-ish lapel pin for the FTF. Please bring your own writing utensil, and please be discreet at the final location.
I rolled my eyes – yet another impossible puzzle cache had been published. I frowned hard, but then gradually a smile crossed my face. Do I see a puzzle that I might actually be able to solve? As I gazed intently at the seemingly random jumble of images, I thought could see the path to the coordinates. Wait a minute, I smell a red herring – I had better rethink my approach. I gagged slightly as my mouth watered in anticipation of discovering the coordinates. The usual household din seemed distant and muffled as I devoted my entire being to the solving of this puzzle.
I licked my lips nervously as I made infinitesimal steps toward the solution. A sweet smell of success hung in the room – or was that the aroma of the freshly-baked cookies cooling on the counter? But a sharp pain shot across my face when my first attempt failed to please Homer. The bitter taste of failure was almost too much to bear and I felt an uncomfortable sensation in the back of my throat. I looked at the puzzle one last time – what am I not seeing? I turned my eyes to the heavens for divine inspiration. After several minutes, I smiled broadly: I had the solution; it was all in my head.
You can see whether the answer is in your head with certitude.
