Got it! - 6/13/17

Today's Minnesota puzzle was passed along to me recently by someone who enjoyed it and thought I would too:

I Got Your Number

If anyone else has any puzzles they've thought about sending along but haven't done so, I'm hoping you'll go ahead and send them to me through geocaching.com; your suggestions really do help me keep things going.

Tomorrow we'll celebrate Flag Day in New York.

GeoQuest Chapters 1 & 2 - 6/8/17

I am just old enough and just geeky enough to have some experience playing text-based adventure games, aka "Interactive Fiction."  The four Ohio puzzle caches I'm featuring today and tomorow are all based on the same game, that I had great fun playing. More than once I hollered out to my husband (who spent a lot more time with this type of game than I did) "How do you think I should try to .....??"  My son asked what in the world I was doing ... "You mean ... it's just words?"  ... and it was fun explaining the roots of the computer games he enjoys so much.   Have fun with:

Zany Squirrel - GeoQuest, Chapter 1  &   Xtreme Arts - GeoQuest, Chapter 2

*Note that the in-game "help" website can be found here.  Within that site is a link that explains the basics of how these games work.

Tomorow we'll continue the series.
