Geocache Description:


Jigsaw puzzle-based mystery caches are common in many areas I've geocached in. Some geocachers I've spoken to love these puzzles, and consider them an easy solve. Others curse the CO's names and search for any method to, shall we say, creatively solve those puzzles in different ways than intended.

 

I often find myself going a little cross-eyed after hours of piecing together images of nuts and bolts, rocks, or dirt. Luckily this latest puzzle I've been working on should be really easy -- there's only a few pieces, and I'm already almost finished!

 

Just one problem with that: I'm quite embarrassed to admit it, but I really am terribly disorganized. I meant to keep the puzzle pieces all together to finish solving, but I seem to have misplaced the last four of them in some caches I visited recently. Oh dear, and here I was, trying to make things easy for myself. I wonder, can you retrace my steps to gather them all and solve the puzzle?

 

Luckily for you, I had 4 versions of this puzzle, each looking the same. So as long as you find any version of pieces 1, 2, 3 and 4, you should be able to piece this together!

Puzzle piece 1 TB9E9AT TB9R0EJ TB9KW68 TB94317
Puzzle piece 2 TBA5AW6 TBA3W40 TB97Q32 TB67BCC
Puzzle piece 3 TBA4XGW TBA9AAV TB9CJCG TB67BFY
Puzzle piece 4 TB9E9AV TBAA87P TB9RFMN TBA7Y11

 

Once you've put the puzzle pieces together, enter the codewords into Certitude in the following order and format (all caps, and dashes between words).

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

 

No need to keep the puzzle pieces once you've found them -- a picture will do just as well! Please keep the trackables on the move so that others can solve the puzzle too.
