Geocache Description:


There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.

Nearly 16 years ago I started caching with my mother and father. Then I had about a 3,000 day gap of finds. Around 5 years ago I started caching again with my daughter. In the last year I've found about 750 caches and solved about 75 puzzles. I created and launched a few puzzles over the last few months and I've been thinking a lot about my favorite puzzles and ideas for making something for other cachers. This cache is the fourth in what I hope is a series of caches throughout the winter of 2023. Be sure to save the bonus information from the geochecker for the winter season finale. On with the show...

A new year means a chance to give up things, commit to doing things, be more active, or change your actions. Now that we are nearly a month in, how are you doing?

Over the years I’ve gone back and forth about watching too much tv. It’s not all my own doing as I grew up watching my parents watching a lot of tv. We also have had a lot of ways to watch tv. Here’s some of our favorites (sorted alphabetically to find quicker in the TV Guide) and while I can’t remember the brand names, I do remember the resolution displays quite well…
