5:18 pm - Thanks for a fun puzzle and hide. I was perplexed for a few minutes. The troll is still weighing on me.

Another fine cache on the company's time.

I loved the puzzle. Currently I'm sitting at home in MD where it's 25F. Much too cold to venture out and dig through snow for caches.

I am visiting Costa Mesa on Monday and wasn't sure which way I was going to venture for a caching adventure. This puzzle just sealed the deal. It may be a five mile walk from the hotel but I plan to give it a good try. With any luck I will enter a find for this one the day I return.

Nice quiet Sat. morning made the search easy! We stopped by the bakery for some pastry afterward. Thanks for the fun.

Totally awsome! After doing a little ahead of time leg work I SL. Totally worth the time spent. My first puzzle and I learned something in the process. Thanks again for the great caches. TNLN

#1293 @ 9:26am - For some reason I thought I was looking for a micro nor nano cache here. When I finally spotted the cache I was surprised at the size but now I see the cache is listed as small though this is close to being regular. NICE hide and fun puzzle. TFTC TNLNSL

Pretty sure I solved the puzzle correctly and from other logs I think I'm looking in the right area but this is my 2nd time not finding this cache. I'll contact owner to verify coordinates and get a hint as to what I'm looking for.

There be lots of muggles around; so's I went to the only area that provided concealment but did not find the loot there. The lamppost seemed an obvious spot but the pan dulce shop was facing me. Will try next time I'm in town.
Nice puzzle; we have one of these in my area down in Diego.
