I agree that some can be VERY frustrating. If the difficulty level is set high enough, then that it just that kind of cache. The fun of caching can be the hunt itself, and not just the gratification of the final find.thunter16148 wrote:I like doing the puzzle caches. It sure does expand your way of thinking sometimes but the ones that are so difficult that NOBODY can solve them is just rediculous. If someone doesn't want a cache found then why hide it. I heard a story about a cache that was hard to find. When someone finally did find it they started telling their buddies how to find it. Once the owner found out he archived it.
Some people like guardrail caches, others like level 5 puzzle caches. To each their own. Personally I like both. It just depends on my mood and time available.
So I tend to agree more with the hider who archived his cache once people started giving away spoilers. The cache was indeed "spoiled" by those cheating to claim another smiley.
We have a new cache in Toledo that just popped up that may well fit the description you mentioned!

Closed out the page and did something else. My curiosity got the better of me, and I Googled Hans Brinker just to see what/who he was. Armed with that info, and staring at that pic for a little bit more, I got out the mapping programs and looked around (it was a slow day...). Something popped up, and I thought for sure I had it. No coords, but a very likely hiding place that had 3 cache-related things going for it. I sent my idea to the Cheechmeister, just to see what he thought of the hunch. Actually, I was hoping he'd jump in his cachemobile and haul it down to Sunbury and look around at my "hunch spot". He didn't fall for that one.
