OK I’m going to grumble here cuz i have no where else to grumble at and no one to really grumble to that would understand..
An evil person *cough cough*Marc*cough cough*
Decide to place an EVIL puzzle cache in the two rivers/manitowoc area, so now I’m stuck staring at this puzzle and have no way of figuring it out.. I hate puzzles and this one is now laughing in my face..
So there i have grumbled, and I’m going to move on and bang my head against a door cuz i can’t figure out this puzzle..
Thank you Marc10/05/2006 at 2:20 am #1766149I like puzzle caches, sort of. Mr. Traker LOVES puzzle caches, therefore if I can’t figure it out in a timeframe that fits my very short attention span, then I can count on him to figure it out. He’ll spend hours and hours working on it, months and months (i.e. Huh? #1…thanks jjjtba!!!!).
This hobby/sport/game is all about adventure. Different people have different definitions of what they like in an adventure. It’s nice that some like to make adventures of the mind.

10/05/2006 at 2:44 am #1766151I enjoy solving (or trying to solve) puzzle caches, but I have encountered a few here and there that I have no clue as to where to begin. In cases like that, I consult with other area cachers and we sometimes pool ideas as to how to solve them. It’s actually fun working on them with a group, and it’s a bonus when you finally come up with the solution.
10/05/2006 at 2:59 am #1766152Coastie,
I do understand how you feel about the one in your area. But, try living smack dab in between Marc and the 6Bricks clan and all those puzzles. Not to mention we have a Giz here, that is getting in the game as well. Some nights I go to bed dreaming of genetic codes in haiku, Goofy formulas that don’t make a bit of sense, Sometimes my head bounces from pole to pole while figuring out what book to read next. All while I hear the state song playing in the background. 😆 😯 😆
OK for those of you that don’t know the Appleton area puzzles, try to solve them and you’ll understand that paragraph. Meanwhile I will take some more Omega 3’s to try and increase the brain capacity.
Whew, I feel better now.
10/05/2006 at 3:12 am #1766153Team Hemi,
I understand what you are saying i have sat at work staring at some of those puzzle cache pages that are over in Appleton, And i have been asked by some of the guys at work Why i was getting a headache every time i was on watch.. I was kind of happy that i live in Two Rivers and don’t have to worry about puzzle caches over here, until Marc felt it was time to put one here, 😡
But you know i wouldn’t mind puzzles if there was some sort of key, cuz then i could figure them out, But i know that would make them TOO easy, 🙁
oh well that’s just my feelings, and like i said before its just me grumbling cuz i have no one else to grumble too, that would understand a word of what I’m saying when i say puzzle, cache, Marc, and banging my head on the door..10/05/2006 at 9:59 am #1766154Puzzle caches = 😈 😛 8)
10/05/2006 at 12:36 pm #1766155I looked at the cache in question (no pun intended), and find it rather interesting. Although it’s not a puzzle that can be solved in a couple minutes, I do believe it’s solvable. Like I said, pooling of minds of a few cachers leads to different ideas.

10/05/2006 at 2:11 pm #1766157I voted “don’t care either way” … but for an odd reason:
I like to HIDE them, but I tend to shy away from FINDING them. I guess the desire to “entertain” in me is stronger than the desire to play detective. Which explains why I’m about to revive my past hobby of directing mystery plays … another thing I don’t understand why I do, when I do it.
10/05/2006 at 2:24 pm #1766158Personally, I love them. I adore puzzles and I love trying to solve them.
I’m working on the same one you are, Coastie, and I am having a heck of a time. I can only seem to unscramble one word to get something that makes sense, but we haven’t had a chance yet to go to the coordinates that are given. 🙁10/05/2006 at 2:31 pm #1766159Well turkey time, theres nothing at those coords, and honestly thats what i thought to that you had to unscramble the words, and let me tell you that is not the case! (i use a website that unscrambles words) i thought maybe it could be useing the decoder that GC.com uses; thats not it either. and that is why i’m banging my head against the door and grumbling about it right now

😈10/05/2006 at 6:09 pm #1766161Think I may have figured out the key for the code.
If I am right, yikes…this one is tough!10/05/2006 at 6:13 pm #1766162I don’t really like puzzle caches since I sit at a computer all day at work basically trying to solve puzzles. I geocache to get away from all the mental work for a while.
I do like caches that are more ‘unknown’ but marked with a puzzle question mark icon – night caches, or series where you need to find six caches to get the coordinates for the seventh, etc. I just ignore the ones that I have to think about and do a lot of work to figure out.
