1000 Days of Geocaching Puzzle of the Day - 9/26/13

Today marks the 1000th day of the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day.  What started out as a challenge to myself to see if I could solve a good puzzle for every day of the year has turned into an almost three year long odyssey - and what a fun trip it has been.  While it's also been a lot of work, I have really enjoyed  seeking out clever, unique, and intricate puzzles written by wonderfully creative people, many of whom I have had the pleasure of chatting with via e-mail, and some of whom I've even been able to meet in person.

Since many cachers mark the 1000 cache milestone with a golden ammo can, I thought it would be fun to share a golden ammo puzzle with you.  I originally had a different puzzle in mind, but since I recently celebrated my 1000th find with a fun golden ammo can puzzle puzzle created by Ithacadoodle (one of the puzzlers who got me into this hobby in the first place), I hope you'll indulge me for sharing:

Tri-al by Fire - 9/23/13

I recently came across  this tri-bute puzzle in honor of a puzzler who lives in the Research Tri-angle area of North Carolina.  Since both the CO and the honoree work as part of a tri-o of solvers and are regular readers here, I thought they might like the chance to tri-umph over today's Illinois puzzle, which is another tri-doku:

I love it that a fellow cacher thought of this blog as a means to thank the CO's for their creativity and wish them well.  I would like to add my thanks and best wishes to all of the puzzle makers and solvers out there who have made this such a great hobby.  You are not only clever, witty, and sharp individuals, but from everything I can see, genuinely nice people as well.

The Gambler - 9/9/13

In case you missed the story behind this week's featured puzzlers, I recently got a message from a reader asking me if I had seen the work of the Utah puzzlers Mom the Cook and cashnhubby.  He was interested in having me feature some of their puzzles as a way to wish them well and thank them for all the inspiration they have provided him as a puzzle maker.  Being a big fan of Kenny Rogers back in the day, I had to include:
