Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the real location of the cache.

I'm sorry to announce that there will be no KPC gathering in December this year. The reason is happy, at least. Maybe BlooeyBug can help you figure out why.

Special Notes about the 2018 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which won't happen until sometime in 2019). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's cache: Hopefully, you don't run into too many muggle issues. I don't generally like to place this kind of hide, but I kind of placed this one last minute.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
