656: Geocaching Mysteries: How To Crack Puzzle Caches

About this episode

This episode discusses different types of geocaches and the tools used to find them, along with a puzzle for listeners to solve.

Welcome to Caching in the NorthWest! This is THE podcast from the birthplace of geocaching, right here in the great Pacific NorthWest. It's Thursday at 7PM Pacific and we are going to talk about geocaches and geocachers from here and around the globe. So while you're double touching a curling stone, we'll be Caching in the NorthWest. Three geocachers — Alex, Bailey, and Casey — each found one type of cache today: a Traditional, a Multi‑cache, and a Puzzle cache. Each one also used a different tool: a map, a flashlight, or a ladder. Here are your clues: Alex did not find the Puzzle cache. Bailey used the flashlight. Casey did not use the ladder. The person who found the Multi‑cache used the map. The person who used the ladder did not find the Puzzle cache. We want you to call in your Geocache Log of the Week!
