Geocache Description:


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

Once again the beginning of the month seems to have caught me by surprise. So, here are a couple of Spanish haiku to entertain you. At first, you may find them senseless and ambiguous. In the end, you may have to figure out their true meanings on your own.

Trompas siguen cual
Trajan cerdos sin cuerpos
Únicamente

¿Dónde dormisten?
¿cementerios, sillas?
Don Nuñez cierra



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Special Notes about the 2022 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 one even happens in 2023, as we haven't had one for the past two years). The real challenge is to see whether I can even figure out how to create a new 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 puzzle: None at this time.
