 After deciding that I was never going to publish a puzzle cache, I have broken down and decided to do one.   This will be a departure from hides I normally do, and I don't think anyone will really struggle with it.  I am shooting for an easy quick fun hide.  My plan is to publish this one soon, so it will likely be submitted sometime between now and the end of the month.

Ah-woog-Ah! Planned to be published in spring 2024 Coming soon to a GZ near you!

  Coming soon to a GZ near you .... This is the first time I considered shelving a geocaching hide idea because of it being too difficult... It had been in planning for a long time, and I was reluctant to announce it because of several reasons. The other day, I found a spot that would have been suitable to hide this one, but it was inside proximity of another hide by around 250 feet so I nixed that site. Honestly, not sure if this one will ever see the light of day as too many proverbial puzzle pieces will have to fall in place for it to happen. Shooting for an late autumn placement or an early spring placement, but really I don't know if or when it will happen. Currently in planning phase. It will be placed once complete and I find a suitable spot and get it approved by a reviewer.

  3-24-2022  Today is my 1000th day in a row finding caches. On a warm June day, I found my first hide of the streak, but didn't know it at the time. A word of gratitude to folks on the trail and owners of caches. - SmileyPanda

 I saw this at Sand Dunes park near Zimmerman in a Geocache.

    I had a fun Geocaching day today - and saw this fine art on the trail (censoring the bits out of the photo to keep it family and children appropriate)
