Geocache Description:


I really enjoy engineering and building the type of caches I would love to find.  Since there are not many that exist, I have set out to make my own for everyone to enjoy!  This is the second Puzzle Box type cache I have created and placed in Saint John. This cache will give you a trip into the past and will test your knowledge of using old technology! It was fun to build this one with the help of a young friend of mine, Lauren (laurenphunter)!  She contributed several things that helped to make this cache what it is!! 

**You will need a Smartphone with data to solve this geocache**

**The letter lock on the front of the box will spell a word**

**I have added a hint that will make it easier if you are having troubles...if you can solve without the hint, be sure to mention it in your log!!**

This cache is not hard to find...it is a field puzzle cache that must be solved in order to gain access to the geocache container which holds the logbook and some swag. It is very unique and will take some thinking, but should provide some good fun...ENJOY :)

NOTES:

- PLEASE put it back as you found it...If for some reason you can't get it back together, PLEASE let me know and we will go and put it back together right away.

- PLEASE be careful with this cache...but if you do break anything or find anything broken, message me right away.

- If you get stuck on any of the puzzles, you can feel free to message me. I will try to respond as quickly as possible!
