Leap Before You Look! - 2/29/16

It's obviously not very often that I get to post a puzzle in honor of Leap Day, so I decided to share two at once.  From California, start off with some:

Tiny Leaps
 
and then I hope you'll indulge me for sharing another of my own:

Leap Before You Look - (PIE - 2.LEAP)

A Dog's Story - 2/28/16

Today's Rhode Island puzzle is intended to be solved in the field, but with a little research it can be done remotely.  I wanted to feature it here because I love the history behind:

Hachiko: A Dog's Story

Tomorrow we'll celebrate Leap Day in New York.

Shh ... - 2/27/16

Shh! Please keep the noise level down.  Today's California puzzle requires complete:

Tomorrow we'll be in Rhode Island.

Cody Cook and Jen IthaCow - 2/26/16

I recently had a CO in New Jersey request some assistance with a puzzle, and in working through it with him I had the opportunity to learn an awful lot about how GPS receivers work.  Given that this technology makes our hobby possible, it's a pretty neat thing to research.  Watch for the cameo appearance by yours truly towards the end of this story from the:

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

Behead Me?! - 2/25/16

While it sounds like an example of a rather creative curse, Behead Me is actually the title of the newly released novel by Russell Atkinson, aka The Rat.  It's the 6th mystery featuring geocacher/lawyer/retired F.B.I agent Cliff Knowles, aka CliffNotes, and while I've enjoyed all of the novels, regardless of whether or not caching was involved in the plot, I have it on good authority that "this one will make geocachers happy."  I haven't read it yet myself, but seeing that there's an ammo can right on the cover, it's looking good.  I'm looking forward to this one taking its place on my bookshelf with its predecessors.  Today's California puzzle is one that does not appear in the book itself, so you won't spoil anything if you:

Behead Me Again

Tomorrow we'll be in New Jersey.

Aww Man!!! - 2/24/16

The subject of today's Wisconsin puzzle is something I'm more familiar with than I would like ... but when I see it I've been known to utter something much worse than:

Aww Man!!!

Tomorrow we'll be back in California.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrel - 2/23/16

Unfortunately, I expect we've all seen puzzles are pretty rotten.  But today's California puzzle is even:

Rottener and Rottenerer

Tomorrow we'll be in Wisconsin.
