Nomination received via e-mail:

GC14DNM: Geocache or No Geocache by ArcherDragoon
nominated by Chapskis1

I don't normally try to solve or find puzzle caches, but I had a blast solving and finding this cache. This was probably one of the easiest, but at the same time most difficult puzzles I have tried. This cache is based on the hit TV gameshow "Deal or No Deal" but instead of having 26 briefcases to choose from, you have a 26 sets of coordinates to choose from. Each set of coordinates is real -- they will lead you to a park in the city of Rochester. Through deduction, reasoning, and trial and error, the cacher tries to determine which park the cache is at.

This cache was both unique and fun. I didn't find the cache on my first try, but it was a lot of fun whittling the list of caches down, and maybe seeing a few parks that I didn't know existed otherwise.

I am nominating the cache based on its originality, the fun factor (probably the most fun I've had finding a cache), and as a recognition to the cache owner because of all the time and effort that I am sure was involved in planning this cache.

C'mon people...is no one out caching??? Month is more than 1/2 over and only 1 nomination? I'll submit one of my favorites:

GC17B0F: Flying Leap (of Faith) by knowschad
nominated by Millah

This cache is definitely one of my favorites up to this point. On a day of great caching and conversation at Schaar's Bluff in Spring Lake Park Reserve, this turned out to be a truly reaffirming experience. After a morning of finding well thought-out, constructed, and placed caches, we took a Flying Leap and it was everything it promised and more. This, to me, is an embodiment of many of the reasons I enjoy geocaching - a good challenge, able to be shared with friends, in an amazing location that I might otherwise have never visited or known existed. Amazing view at GZ that I will definitely revisit on a lazy summer afternoon. The view alone is reason enough to make the trip - smiley or no smiley. Give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!
