Yes, I agree. I decoded this on the side of the track. The little friend was a magnificent touch, he was what led me to the cache.

Hello OldSaint, thanks for the puzzle.
Glad to be able to solve another of your puzzles. Not sure what to expect at GZ though!
This afternoon the GeoGSP and I headed out for a walk to an area that the GeoGSP loves, and he got very excited when we parked nearby. We passed a couple of other people walking their dogs on our way to GZ, but there was no sign of anyone once we reached GZ. As per the hint, we soon found the hide - very cool, very tricky, wouldn't like to do this one in the middle of summer! Appreciate the work that has gone into this one.

I solved this just after it came out but have not been down this way for ages. Today SSR picked out a few caches that had been on the radar for a while and this was one of tree in the Reserve.
And yep, you are a Flamin' Mongrel! Shame on you

Hello OLdSaint thank you for the cache.

The puzzle didn't take any time to work out once I got some help. Embarassed

Today the find was easy but the cache wasn't hidden as it could have been so there was no scare factor today for me. Sad

Before heading off to find ‘A Religious View,’ I thought I would try my luck with this puzzle. A pattern was detected and the geochecker was happy. A nice short walk to GZ where, thank goodness, aus2 found the cache. That one was just too real looking me. I’d like to say thanks for the puzzle and aus2 and the bear say thanks for the cache.

Earlier this week Mrs Y'stassie was checking our list of unfound GCA caches and spotted this puzzle. After playing with some numbers she thought she saw a pattern emerging and soon had a set of coordinates that the checker liked.

After finding a few nearby caches we took a short walk to this cache. Again good coordinates and auseful hint enabled us to spot the cache cover and extract the container and log. A quick sign and return of container and cover and we were on our way. Not sure about the cache name though - maybe we missed something in the fading light though there was a large deposit of horse dung close by.

Thanks for the cache and puzzle Old Saint. We enjoy visiting this area.

Happy Valentine's Day! A clever puzzle. I liked the surprise at GZ. I would have called the cache 'About time' as I had spied it in the CO's car and enquired are you going to hide that? So have been expecting it to appear. I can breathe easy now. Thanks for the fun. TFTP

I looked a little bit when it came out, but once the FTF went, I forgot about it until today.
A few bits of experimentation eventually led me to the pattern - once of that class of puzzles that is only solvable when you already know part of the answer.
The previous logs worried me about what I might find, so I went well equipped and was able to deal with the nature of the hide.
Thanks.

Last month when I first looked at this puzzle - nothing, absolutely nothing.
I glanced at again this morning, and as if out of nowhere, I soon had some coordinates that the checker liked.
As for the cache,《insert prolonged crow call here!》.
Thanks for the adventure.
Cheers, EPs Very Happy

Found this cache as second to find.

Don’t want to say to much but that’s not nice Oldsaint.

Just realised this was my 5000 Tasmanian cache find. Thanks Oldsaint

I was sitting in front of my computer when this cache was published and couldn't resist the urge to solve a new puzzle.
After a few false starts I eventually found the solution.
Having solved the cache puzzle, the temptation to go for a drive to retrieve it was also too tempting.
It was a sort stroll from the car to gz. A quick look around and I soon spotted the cache, thanks to the good hint.
My first though was to name the cache after the first word that came to mind after I retrieved the cache, but somehow I don't think GC will allow swear words in the cache name.
How about we call the cache "OldSaint's a Flamin' Mongrel!".
Thanks OldSaint for the puzzle, the cache and the entertainment.

Just for the fun of it
Cheers OldSaint
