Current Goal

To be seen (and not taken) by those willing to hike to it. And at least one of the people in the party is probably a brainiac. After all, you've got to complete the Puzzle Gauntlet to get this far...

About This Item

Ok. If you actually found it, good for you. It was a nice little trip, wasn't it? But let's be honest. Did you really solve the Puzzle Gauntlet or was it that one person you always call on when you can't solve a puzzle? Yeah, I thought so.

Go ahead and discover this one anyway. You deserve it for the hike if nothing else. But even if you don't get your name on the other list, we won't hold it against you.

End of the Gauntlet and a happy conclusion to a full and rewarding day of caching... who cares that it's a proxy?

Wow, as if the puzzles were not challenging but totally fun, our group began and completed the Gauntlet Hike from beginning to end today. OleSeeker, Catkin, BD1982 and I began about 10:45 AM and finished this afternoon. The hardest cache to find was 3.5 and the honors goes to OleSeeker, who did not want to move forward until she found it. The cache was hidden in a location where the GPS indicated 17 feet, but with so much signal bounce 8-10 feet was indicated by our several units in oh so many places. What a great day to be walking in the woods and such a fun series to complete.

Solved all but 4.5 of the Gauntlet. Luckily someone in the group had solved that 1.

Solved most but teamed up on a few. Took seven years plus to get the grande finale. Thanks for the adventure.

Thanks to BeeMagnet we were able to complete the series and I am sure all of us enjoyed the hike and hides.

What a marvelous day. It was cool so it made for a nice hike. The trails look like there are some impressive technical bicycle ride around here.
And I will have you know that I solved a puzzle all on my own... So what if it was the easiest. I did it my way. I also provided comic relief and took one spectacular forward fall without doing a faceplant. There was a solid retainer bar all twisted into a loop that trapped my right boot to cap when I was distracted by my compass.
Luckily no real damage was done, just a couple of very minor strains that seem to be gone. We had great fun tfttb
