Christmas in Colorado - 12/24/24

I expect most people have a lot of other things to do besides puzzling today, but if you're in a puzzling mood this Christmas Eve, here is a post I'm re-sharing a post from 6 years ago:

Today we travel back to Colorado for a double feature from a CO who obviously enjoys a good Christmas-themed puzzle.  Over the years I have really enjoyed his work.   There are puzzles that look like Christmas ones that are Christmas ones, ones that look like Christmas ones that aren't, and ones that don't necessarily look like they have a Christmas theme, but they do (and of course many non-holiday ones as well).  Try your luck with these two ... a brand new one:

Here's what I had to say about this puzzle 8 years ago today:

If you're not familiar with the Massachusetts "RASH" puzzles that I have featured before, the title of today's post might have you wondering what in the world I am thinking.  These fun (but tricky) word puzzles are a great mental workout.  I actually wasn't sure I was going to get through this one in time to post it this season, but over the course of a few days the last stubborn ones fell in to place.  Have a:

All good things - 12/2/24

What were you doing 14 years ago?  In December of 2010 I had been geocaching for less than a year, but had gotten absolutely hooked on geocaching puzzles.  In an effort to understand the minds of my local puzzlers better, I had started working on puzzles I found by poking around through the geocaching.com search.  I searched random places and assorted key words and kept track of my work in a notebook and wondered if I could solve a puzzle every day.  

I quickly found that there were enough simple straightforward puzzles that I could certainly solve one every day, so I decided to see if I could find and solve a fun, clever puzzle on average at least once a day.  I was thoroughly enjoying the process and felt that there had to be other people out there who would have fun seeing more puzzles than were in their own area, and perhaps inspire them to create new puzzles themselves.  A bonus would be giving a wider audience and paying thanks to puzzlers whose work I had enjoyed. So on 1/1/2011, the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day was launched.  

I never would have anticipated keeping it going for 14 years, and I am incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful people I have come to know through this hobby, but the time has come for me to stop curating the blog on a daily basis.  I still enjoy puzzling and have gotten into a lot of puzzling arenas outside of geocaching (I will post some links below).  

I am keeping things going daily until the end of the year, and I will undoubtedly pop up from time to time with new content after that (it will be hard to give it up cold turkey!)  I have another thing I'm working on so that visitors to the website should easily be able to find something they've not seen to enjoy.  More on that later.

For now, let's just say that my intention is to avoid anyone thinking that:

This is all going to end badly

Tomorrow we'll ...

A few links to the wider puzzle world:

Puzzle Hunt Calendar - this site keeps track of online and in-person hunts throughout the year.  These can be in-person or online, and some require a small fee or subscription.  Among the ones I see there right now I can recommend:

Puzzled Pint - if you're lucky enough to be close enough to play in person, you can do so.  But the puzzles are posted after the event each month and you can play at your own pace for free.

P&A Magazine and Puzzle Boat - The magazine is a (roughly) bi-monthly offering with stand-alone puzzles and a group of puzzles connected to a larger "meta" puzzle.  Puzzle Boat is a longer, annual event best solved with a team.  These require a fee, but provide hours of entertainment.

MIT Mystery Hunt - Imagine the Olympics of puzzling, where you are not just watching some of the best puzzlers in the world at their craft, but you get to compete right alongside them.  There are opportunities to solve in person in Boston or join a team remotely.  I'll share more about some of the puzzles I wrote for last year's hunt in January.

Lots of other hunts pop up on the calendar throughout the year, and they have varying lengths and difficulty levels. If you're ever curious about whether I've tried one, feel free to give me a shout.  

Want to get better at cryptic crosswords?  Here's a free site where you can practice daily:  Lovatt's Cryptic Crosswords

Other subscription based ones I've tried include:

Matt Gaffney's crossword contest (I'm still working on the learning curve for these, but they're a fun challenge)

Puzzlesnacks - Eric Berlin inspired many of the recent word-based California puzzles I've shared.  He's recently switched from a weekly subscription model to a downloadable puzzle collections.  They're generally very accessible and fun.

December First - 12/1/24

Today I'm resharing a whole post from 9 years ago today: 

When I was growing up, the first of December was always a special day. Not only would we pull out the advent calendars and start the Christmas count-down, but my mom would lug the giant old "portable" record player up the stairs and at bedtime she'd set a stack of 6 Christmas LP's to play us to sleep. The next night we would listen to the flip-sides. Little did I know that many years later, the first of December would become special for a very different reason (Happy Birthday, "A"!). Today although I have a large collection of holiday CD's and I enjoy all the seasonal satellite radio channels, it still seems strange to start listening to that music before December 1. For your puzzling pleasure today, I take you to Massachusetts for:

MERRY CHRISTMAS, CAROL

Daily Puzzles - 11/18/2024

The CO of today's California puzzle refers to their daily puzzle routine in the cache description. I wonder how many of you also have a routine of doing NYT puzzles. My son and I started doing the regular crossword together just before the pandemic and then we expanded to include Spelling Bee (he likes to get to "queen bee.")  I ended up getting him his own subscription and usually don't do the regular crossword any more.  My routine now  generally consists of (always in this order): Spelling Bee (up to Genius), Wordle (hard mode), Strands, Connections,  and Mini-Crossword.  I've dabbled in different wordle variations, most recently this one. 

They recently added statistics to the Connections puzzle, and I find it interesting to see how I stacked up against other folks.  Try your luck with:

Go Dodgers! - 10/25/24

With our beloved Minnesota Twins out of the baseball playoffs, I decided to root for the team I followed closely as a kid.  I started watching baseball and became a Dodger fan in 1977.   Although we moved had away before I turned a year old, it seemed natural to follow the team closest to where I was born since there wasn't a team close to where we lived.  They proceeded to get to the World Series that year and the next (losing to the Yankees both years and launching my lifelong willingness to cheer for any team playing against them), and then again in 1981 and 1988 (winning both, the first against the Yankees). It was quite some time before I realized how fortunate it was to get to the Fall Classic so often. In honor of this year's team and all the great former Dodgers I'm re-sharing this early puzzle of mine which featured both my husband's and my favorite players:

Since I'm teaching about this topic this coming week, I thought I'd reshare this Utah puzzle I first featured here 11 years ago today.  It made me smile, and I'm betting it will do the same for you:

Geocaching Summer Olympics - 6/27/24

Although my own athletic prowess peaked very early (2nd place 8 and Under Backstroke in our City Championship meet in 1970-something), I have always been an Olympics junkie. As I look forward to this year's competition in Paris I've caught a little of the US qualifying for some of the events, including swimming and diving.  I never tried diving myself, and have only watched it in person at my daughter's swim meets (I have some fond memories of serving as the announcer at a number of home meets).  I had fun going through this Minnesota puzzle, and will probably return to more in the series:

A note from the original post:  "I'm sure this is the first puzzle I've ever solved while standing in the CO's kitchen, just moments before going out to find it."  A fun memory!  I even wrote my own Haiku for the log:

Today I have two puzzles for you, one from Pennsylvania and another from Oklahoma. It turns out, they both have the same name and connections to CacheSleuth and me.  I had reached out to ask him for help in implementing a new puzzle cache, and in talking about it I found out he was working on a new cache using his own implementation of something I'd used before (but he hadn't ever seen mine).  It was pretty funny when we also ended up independently giving our new puzzles the same name.  I guess you could say we were:

I'm not sure how I came across this puzzle from the UK, but the title made me smile.  When we first moved into our house, our kids were fascinated by the "furry animal" who routinely popped up in the back yard, having taken up residence under our shed.  We later figured out that it was a woodchuck, but to this day when we see one back there (likely it's great-great-great-great grandchild) we still call it the "furry animal."  Here's another kind of:

Remember the Cinco de Mayo - 5/5/24

I just recently archived the puzzle I referred to in post below, which I'm pasting in its entirety from 8 years ago today:

Five years ago for Cinco de Mayo I placed a cache that used the Mexican Army cipher.  Here's a little history I included:  Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday held on May 5 that commemorates the unlikely victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. While Cinco de Mayo sees limited significance in Mexico itself, the date is observed mostly in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day (September 16), the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. Now try your luck with today's Virginia puzzle commemorating a different piece of Mexican army history:
