Am I Really So Hard To Find? - 3/31/14

Today's California puzzle asks the question that I bet many lonely puzzle caches out there are asking:

Am I Really So Hard To Find?

Tomorrow we'll be in the United Kingdom.

Dazed and Confused - 3/30/14

Today's puzzle takes us back to the geo-art duck series from Canada's Ontario province that I featured last week.  Hope it won't leave you feeling:

WTD? - Dazed and Confused

although, if it does, I suppose you could:

 WTD? - TEXT ME!!!

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

Hello, Newman - 3/29/14

I came across today's New York puzzle not long after watching the Super Bowl and seeing the commercial with Jerry and George back at the coffee shop just like old times (except for Jerry's much shorter haircut).  We even got to hear him say:

Hello Newman

Tomorrow we'll head back up to Canada's province of Ontario.

Mr. Who? - 3/28/14

Today's clever California puzzle will have you learning about:

Mr. L Squeeze Me Lady September

Tomorrow we'll be in New York.

What the Duck? - 3/27/14

Today's puzzle is part of a series of geo-art in Canada's province of Ontario.  My friend passed it along to me and I'm hoping maybe we'll be able to go and get them sometime. "It's not that far," she said, and I agree.  It's certainly not like going to:

WTD? - The Dark Side of the Moon

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

What would you be ... - 3/26/14

Today's Pennsylvania puzzle poses an interesting question about being:

Wrapped Helically

Tomorrow we'll be in Canada's province of Ontario.

A Virtual Cache - 3/25/14

Despite the title, today's California puzzle is not actually:

A Virtual Cache

Tomorrow we'll be in Pennsylvania.

Fill it In - 3/24/14

Today's Wisconsin puzzle is a type of puzzle I recently taught my niece and nephews how to do.  I told them: Remember to only use each word once, and no writing the words in backwards or upside down.  If you make a mistake, you'll have to erase it all and :

FILL-IT-IN-AGAIN

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

Ripple Effect - 3/23/14

Today's Illinois puzzle is one that I had printed out in preparation for sitting through my daughter's long swim meet.  Imagine my surprise when she sat down and worked it out herself.  I guess sometimes with puzzling there's a:

Ripple Effect

Tomorrow we'll be in Wisconsin.

Keep Dry - 3/22/14

Today's Wisconsin puzzle offers the good advice:

Stay high to keep dry

Tomorrow we'll be in Illinois.

A Crossed Stick - 3/21/14

Today's California puzzle is one that I've had on the radar for a long time, but was never able to even get it started.  Having had some more practice with the genre, I am having more fun with them and can appreciate how tough it must be to construct: 

A Crossed Stick

Tomorrow we'll be in Wisconsin.

Eagle Eyed - 3/20/14

Today's California puzzle is one I had fun testing before publication.  To solve it you'll need the:

Eyes of an Eagle!

Tomorrow we'll be in California. 

Are You? - 3/19/14

Today's California puzzle asks the timeless question posed by mothers everywhere:

Are you going out like that?

Tomorrow we'll hang around in California another day.

Inharmonious - 3/18/14

Today's central New York puzzle taught me something new.  See if you think it's:

Inharmonious

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

O'Geocache - 3/17/14

For St. Patrick's Day I couldn't resist sharing today's Minnesota puzzle:

O'Geocache

Tomorrow we'll be in central New York.

Say, What? - 3/16/14

Sometimes a puzzle title catches my eye, and I just have to check it out.  That certainly was the case with today's Texas puzzle:

Wet Sweater - Bras Stuck!

Tomorrow we'll celebrate St. Patrick's day in Minnesota.

The Nineteenth Hole - 3/15/14

I chose today's Ohio puzzle because it's the perfect theme to honor my dad's birthday today.  He has had a life-long love for the subject matter, and was recently honored by his alma mater's team (just shy of 60 years after graduation) as an inaugural inductee into their hall of fame.  As for myself, I never really mastered much more than the:

Nineteenth Hole

Tomorrow we'll be in Wisconsin.

A Beautiful Mind - 3/14/14

I see by the calendar that it is Pi day again, so it seems like the perfect day to feature another Pennsylvania puzzle by my friend CaptainMath:

PMC2 - A Beautiful Mind

Tomorrow we'll be in Ohio.

Off the Grid - 3/13/14

Today's Massachusetts puzzle is another one I found while looking for pencil and paper puzzles to take with me to work on while sitting through a long swim meet.  I had seen this kind of crossword puzzle before, but had never tried one before.  You'll see it requires you to be:

Off the Grid

Tomorrow we'll be in Pennsylvania.

Nurikabe - 3/12/14

Today's puzzle continues the Japanese theme from yesterday's puzzle.  It is part of a series from Canada's province of Nova Scotia which I've featured here before, but I had never done this one until I recently went on a hunt for some paper and pencil puzzles to take to my daughter's long swim meet.  The wikpedia link in the puzzle is supposed to point here.  Have some logical fun with:

JLP1: Nurikabe

Tomorrow, another of my pencil and paper finds, this one from Massachusetts.

Not Bonsai - 3/11/14

Based on the description in today's puzzle from downstate New York, I doubt I will ever be mistaken for a ninja cacher.

I wonder if anyone else remembers the scene from "The Karate Kid" where Daniel is confused between bonsai and:

Bonzai

Tomorrow we'll be in Canada's province of Nova Scotia.

True Lies - 3/10/14

Today's Nevada puzzle is:

True Lies

Tomorrow we'll be in downstate New York.

More BBQ - 3/9/14

Yesterday's puzzle may have whetted your appetite for some more BBQ, so I thought I'd oblige by featuring another pair of these thematic Virginia puzzles..   I hope you enjoy :

Pulled Pork 

and

Cornbread is Extra

Tomorrow we'll head to Nevada.

Time for Some BBQ - 3/8/14

Today's Virginia puzzle might put you in the mood for some:

Tomorrow, we'll hang around in Virginia another day.

All or Nothing - 3/7/14

I wish I had seen today's California puzzle sooner, as I would like to have learned the lesson it teaches a while back:

All Your Base are Belong to Us

Tomorrow we'll be in Virginia.

Encore, Encore! - 3/6/14

I first came across the idea of an "encore" puzzle while traveling in Florida, and thought it was a great way to keep some fun puzzle caches going after their original hiders had left the game.  Today's "encore" is from California:

The Seven Deadly Segments (encore)

Tomorrow we'll be in California another day. 

Man in the Middle - 3/5/14

Today's California puzzle reminds us that it's never easy being:

The Man in the Middle

Tomorrow we'll be in California another day.

"That Was Easy" - 3/4/14

Today's clever "easy" puzzle was put together as part of a recent "Hide and Go Cache" event in Canada's province of British Columbia.  Have some fun with:

and from Texas, here's something (think of it as a little lagniappe) for those hoping for some:

Mardis Gras Madness

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

It Depends - 3/3/14
