Geocache Description:


 
🏁 Think Outside the Box:
The Series 
 
The subtitle of this series could be what3words because all of the puzzles involve the what3word addresses.  You can all thank iowaPete for that.  Whenever he'd go on a caching trip he'd tell me where he was by texting me the what3words location.
 
I feel like I need to explain the series a little.  I'm going to give you a list of all the possible words used for the caches BUT they won't be in any particular order or combination.  Now you can brute force through the entire series but I wouldn't recommend it.  There are well over 25,000 combinations to choose from.  In all honesty it's more than just a list it's more like a map.  You should make sure to follow it as you progress along your journey.
 
I'm not totally sadistic so I'm going to give you some puzzles to solve to help you find the location of each cache.  The best way would be to do them in a certain order.  Now I'm not going to come right out and tell you the order that would be too easy but there will be a way to figure it out.  You might think the order doesn't matter that much but if you've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark you know that the Nazis were looking in the wrong place because they didn't have all the information they needed.  As you solve a puzzle you MAY be given clues or hints for solving future puzzles.  Remember that unless otherwise instructed you will enter the 3 words seperated by periods.  word1.word2.word3
 
Some of the puzzles are old favorites.  Some may be new to you.  Some are meant to be easy.  Some are meant to make you Think Outside the Box.

I hope you enjoy this series so let's have fun out there.
 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  The 3 words for this cache will be found in one of the other caches.  Also, if you get stuck on a puzzle just remember 'Help' or 'I give up.' 
 
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
 
These caches are hidden in Cortright Wildlife area.  Park hours are 6am - 10pm.  Please observe all rules.  Hunting is permitted here so take caution.
