This is the kind of puzzle cache I can do. Some of those puzzle caches are beyond my mental capability. Fun bike ride and cache trip. TFTC SL

Solved this one a few times, actually. My butt seems to be rooted to the chair these days. So often I find I'm happy enough to just solve the puzzle and leave it at that. It's a bad habit. We found the cache with no great trouble. It made for a nice walk from home. We grabbed a pizza on the way back. Thanks for the hide.

The attachment mechanism mentioned in the encrypted clue appears to have been broken since April at the very latest. This makes retrieval tricky, because a careless attempt would push it deeply out of reach, where no one would find it again. I put it inside the container, crammed in next to the log sheet, and that seems to work quite well.

11:18. I had solved this puzzle long ago, back when my brother first moved here, but hadn't had a chance to sneak away to hunt for it until now. My parents went on a cruise this week; so it was easy enough to get away from my brother's family to go out for some caching today. The hide was truly an accidental find for me. I was trying to adjust my position as I was searching the wrong location and I suddenly found the cache. Took me a couple of minutes to retrieve it, as I don't carry any useful TOTT with me.

Believe it or not, it took three trips for this one, but due to unusual circumstances, we could not retrieve the cache. Now everything is okay and we were finally able to log this cache.

Had to park about a mile away to walk to this cache. Good hide. To me, hint does not seem to be correct. TFTC

I walked a long way with a sore foot only to come up empty. Just couldn't see it. I will look again on a day with less glare. I hope I can access a shorter way to the cache.

With a little thinking and a homemade TOTT, I retrieved what I thought was unretrievable. TFTC

Found it pretty fast second time around. Part of the cache detached from the other part. It's nested in a secure place but may need attention. TFTC.

I don't see how a Weed Wacker could do anything to this cache. If you are in the weeds you are in the wrong spot.

Looks like the weed-wacker came through some time ago and took this one out.
