PLANNING
The Crowsnest Pass is one of my favorites geocaching areas. I set up a plan to search for 10 caches near Highway 3, one of which was a puzzle cache that I solved a few weeks ago.
OUTCOME
11:00 am. This was my 6th search of the morning. I had solved this puzzle a couple of weeks earlier and finally had an opportunity to see if my decoding would result in a find. The decoding was a straight-forward substitution of the hexadecimal system to our alphabet, but it took awhile to complete. The message described where to go when one arrived at the coordinates.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
I am just beginning to learn how to solve this type of puzzle. But there was a special feeling when the cache was located. Thanks for the challenge and the cache. TNLNSL. Here are two photos:
