The next big best-seller? - 3/7/17

Today's puzzle takes us to Utah.  I don't know about you, but I'd be interested in reading a book entitled:

Beale Street Blues Boy - 3/6/17

I missed today's California puzzle when it published, but was glad I came across it the other day.  It explains the origin of B.B. King's nickname.  I once shared the stage with the legendary jazzman back in Memphis ... well, OK, not like that.  But he was present to receive an honorary degree at my college graduation.  I spent four years there in Memphis but that was my closest brush with any of the famous:

500 What? - 3/5/17

Last weekend saw the running of the Daytona 500, the first race of the Nascar season and the annual competition for the Winston, Nextel, Sprint,  Monster Energy Cup.  I don't really follow the sport, but since I grew up at the sight of a popular track in Bristol, TN, I have had a lot of exposure to it.  It's interesting how much variation there is from track to track, and race to race. The major race there every spring is called the "Food City 500." The track in Bristol is only a little over a half a mile around.  To complete 500 miles there you'd have to go around something like 938 times, so the "500" means "500 laps."   How many laps do you think there are in the Daytona 500?  Today's Florida puzzle asks the same question:

Geocaching Reality Show? - 3/4/17

This new Rhode Island puzzle caught my eye because it sounded like part of a new geocaching reality show ... the goal is:

Don't Get Eliminated!

Tomorrow we'll be in Florida.

In an unrelated news flash ... a little bird rodent tells me that "The Rat" is giving away free kindle downloads of one of his Cliff Knowles books this weekend.  If you're interested, just click on the link for details how to get your Fatal Dose.

Many Hands ... 3/3/17

They say that good things come in threes, so since it's "3/3" (no matter how you like to write your months and days) I have a trifecta of puzzles for you today, from California, Oregon, and Spain.
They (whoever "they" are) also say that many hands make light work.  Such can certainly be the case in geocaching.  Whether it's creating or solving puzzles, or placing or finding caches, things can go much faster (and be much more fun) when working with friends.  Earlier this year I worked on a puzzle that involved collaboration.  I'm glad I didn't feature it here right away, because now I can share with you the rest of the story.  It turns out that the original puzzle inspired a couple of other cachers to create their own versions.  The CO was not only happy to share the idea, but even helped one of them with the implementation.  Now that's:

Cachbefound - 3/1/17

I love it when CO's find clever ways to honor other cachers with their puzzles.  Since puzzles by both the CO and the honoree of today's puzzle have been featured here regularly (and I had the pleasure of meeting both of them on my 2015 visit to California) I knew I'd have to share with you this puzzle in honor of:
