Geocache Description:

This is a Field Puzzle cache. The cache IS at the posted coordinates.

This cache is part of the Fall Favorites 2017 Challenge (FF2017). For more details on the challenge, see this Facebook Group.


This is our first Arduino powered cache. With a little bit of research ahead of time, you should be able to quickly sign the log once at GZ. Without the research, you may be there a while. The title of the cache is a hint.

The cache should be fairly rugged, but please do not use excessive force or tools to get to the log book. This should go without saying, but any finds without a signature in the logbook will be deleted.

To find the cache and sign the log you will need to do the following:

  • Bring a AA Battery
  • Walk/Hike about 500m on a nice trail
  • Solve the Field Puzzle

The best way to approach the cache is to park at the end of Grant Rd, then take the Grinder Trail to the top. See the waypoints for more details.

Thanks for Eric Kristoff for the idea.

Congrats to still water on the FTF
