Geocache Description:


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

Yeah, I could post coordinates, but sometimes these groups of three words are like little poems:

  • seamlessly.formations.underway
  • burn.conferred.daft
  • climbing.overdo.once
  • hastens.including.crumble
  • oppositely.lake.seesaw
  • leaving.lavas.feasibly
  • expand.dispensing.blast
  • overheating.margin.empires
  • obstruct.fright.outlooks
  • plume.bright.contests
  • procure.unplanned.sunburned
  • mudslides.unimportant.armpits
  • liberate.heap.fierceness
  • depends.tucked.fireworks
  • remakes.grids.fuzzier

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, if there even is a celebration party). 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: Another cache inspired by current events. There is poison oak all around this park, but I didn't see any near this cache.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
