The Highwayman - 7/27/13
Today's puzzle is another from Canada's Alberta province. I've been told that my paternal grandparents were great lovers of poetry, and would spend many an evening reciting long, classic poems. I wonder if their repertoire included:

The Other Guys DNF - 7/26/13
I recently passed through Hershey, PA, and loved seeing the names of some of the streets there. I can just imagine being able to give these directions to my house: "From Chocolate Avenue, go south on Cocoa Avenue, then west on Almond Drive and around to Goodbar Court." Yum. Just like those street names caught my eye, this puzzle from the same area caught my eye because of its name. It's always fun to find a cache that:

Black and White - 7/15/13

Figure Logic - 7/9/13
One of the things I love about this "puzzling" hobby is the interesting folks that I have been able to meet, both in person and on-line. One of those interesting people belongs to the caching team that are the CO's of today's central New York puzzle. She has a long history of publishing this kind of puzzle (and other kinds as well) in magazines like "Math and Logic Puzzles" and it was fun to see her put that talent to use in creating a series of geocaching puzzles starting here:
Figure Logic 1
Tomorrow we'll be in Pennsylvania.

Bejeweled - 7/3/13
I recently started playing the little game "Bejeweled" and it got me wondering if I could find a puzzle that featured it. Sure enough, I did, in Canada's province of Quebec. If, like me, you don't read French, you can use Google Translate to understand the rules of:
