Geocache Description:


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

Those of you familiar with Livermore word puzzles will hopefully recognize what to do here, even though I'm not providing a diagram (because I'm too lazy to draw one right now).

  • highly specific habitat
  • used to put stamps in an album
  • longed for

  • used to measure gas (the liquid)
  • Bugabloo's favorite princess
  • put off to the future
  • Russet pancake
  • confuse
  • she gave us Hello
  • my shoes have two each
  • use this to shape wood
  • small island

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Special Notes about the 2023 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, which will probably happen in Spring 2024). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep from getting so frustrated by submitting caches that I decide to quit! 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: I actually hid this one early in the month for once, but then I checked on it, and the bush it was in had lost all its leaves somehow. So, I moved it. Decided to raise the difficulty from 3 to 3.5 based on the first few hours of activity. I didn't mention which NBA player. Feel free to suggest one in your logs.
