For all of you who hate my puzzle caches, know that I have met my match out here in Arizona. Well, not really, but ….

I had worked on dozens of puzzles prior to coming here. Some of the puzzles were hard, some easy. Just like mine, and others, back East.

So, I have all the info. Let’s go get the caches!

Well, it doesn’t work that way out here.

I suppose most cachers would consider solving the puzzle the hard part. I do. And my puzzles are set up that way.

Well, here in Arizona, the puzzle is the easy part! The cache hiding is absolutely evil! Even with help and hints from cache owners, I have not been able to find many of them.

Yesterday, for example, I went 3 for 8! Now that sucks! Of the three I found, one was a very easy magnetic cache. The other two were wickedly clever hides, including one along a guard rail along a very empty desert highway. Was it a magnetic keyholder in the place you would expect? Absolutely not! It was a micro, in a well deguised hiding place.

So, the next time you have a complaint ……….

And along those lines, just think of all the evil ideas I have come across out here that you do not know about!

And then, yesterday, my palm died. Totally kaput!
