Ok guys... This has to stop. Razz

It's getting way out of hand now. I am having a hard time keeping up with SOLVING the puzzle caches, much less visiting them all. Wink

Another one was just approved and I am aware of two (I believe) that are in the works still...

Maybe we'll end up being some sort of puzzle capital...

You haven't told me if you have solved "Lap of Luxury" yet?

I've looked at it before while caching in the area, but haven't invested much time in solving it yet.

Just great... ANOTHER puzzle to add to my list.

I think with the longer nights, it's giving people more time to think of new puzzles....but the longer nights aren't helping me solve these puzzles! Or, it can be a one-up-man ship going on...who can create the puzzle that no one can break??? And, where do you get these decoder rings people are supposably using to solve some of them??

Duluth is loaded with some great caches. It's been a busy
Fall for me so I haven't been able to spend much time in
my fav. city. Last night I spent some time in the wee hours,
working on one of the puzzle caches. Pretty rewarding when
one figures it out. Indeed it keeps the brain active. You
guys & gals are a lotta fun! Wink

also depends on the type of puzzle. I've enjoyed the encryption ones I've done. Shoot one of Eskoclimbers I managed to solve and drove the 150 miles to get FTF on (Haven't done that since though).

There's one in town here I helped create for one of KB's caches. I'll admit it's extremely tough to do without a hint, dare I say impossible? I actually had a different motivation at the time it was created as to why it was so hard. I've found myself appologizing to any cachers that have attempted it.

Getting out of hand? Well, "color" me sad. Actually, the trick is to come up with a different puzzle. IBcrashen stole two of my ideas before I could implement them. Well, maybe I was lazy AND I don't like admitting that IBcrashen is more clever than I am.
I really enjoy stretching my mind and trying to come up with something that hasn't been done, well around here anyway.
