You know the feeling. You go to check your email and notice a new cache is published 10 miles from your home. Excitement builds, as you nearly are almost out the door for the possibility to grab a FTF. You go to the cache page and realize that this FTF isn’t going to be that easy because it is a puzzle cache. For some, the heart sinks knowing that you are not the “puzzling” type, for others an opportunity to sit by your fireplace on a cold night and puzzle your way through the solution to the final location.
Puzzles. Some of us love them, and others don’t bother. It would be safe to say that most of those that don’t bother struggle figuring out some of these ingenuous brainteasers. Help is on the way!
January 29th, 2011 is National Puzzle Day and there will be an event celebrating puzzles in the world of geocaching. This event is for “puzzlers” and “non-puzzling” cachers alike. The event will show cachers how to solve several different types of puzzles, as well as provide solutions to over 350 Minnesota and some Iowa puzzle caches!
Ruth Johnson (Quilting is fun too) one of the event's hosts, shares how the event will appeal to all sorts of cachers.
“Even if someone has solved ALL of the puzzles listed on the cache page on their own (that would be a feat!), it will still be a fun way to celebrate National Puzzle Day. We are just thrilled that so many puzzles have been donated…”
Like any great event there will be food and door prize drawings.
More details on this event are listed on the cache page.
The event is at River City Extreme in Monticello, MN.
To the joy of many cachers, this event IS posted at the listed coordinates.
