Please read the whole description so you know how to make the find!

This cache is hidden just outside of our backyard and can be accessed through the alleyway. Please park on a nearby street and not in the alley! Also, please stay outside of the fence.

Finding this gadget cache will be quite easy, but signing the log will take a bit of effort. You must sign the physical logbook to make the find! The container has enough room for a few small trading items or trackables.

You will need to solve two puzzles in order to reach the cache container and sign the log. One of the puzzles will require you to bring 32 oz of water with you. All other required tools will be provided. No excessive force is necessary. Please respect our neighbors and don't try to search for this cache at night. If our dog is in the yard, he may bark at the fence but he is actually quite friendly.

The lock for the second puzzle is unlocked by sliding the circle in any of the four directions, multiple times. The lock accepts any number of inputs. Before trying a new combination, reset the lock by clicking the top of the shackle inwards twice. Before you leave, be sure to put everything back where it goes, attach all of the locks where they go, don't put the locks on backwards, etc.

If you need any additional hints, feel free to message me through my profile!

This was quite a practice in patience. I had been by about a month ago to recon the situation & saw what I needed the water for but had no idea what was in store yet. Finished part one without loosing any water (I’ve done these before). Stage 2 was the real challenge. We ended up solving it by going from both directions. My huggle gives it a fav point. I took the TB and left a TOTT related to the cache puzzle. (I wish this was categorized as an unknown).

Had water to finish the 1st. The 2nd one left the ball stuck where we couldn't maneuver it where it needed to go to be able to move on. Thanks for the fun though! Next time I'm in the area, I'll try again.

Awesome! Took the youngest for an extra set of hands and some added brain help.

I'm glad that I saw there was this gadget cache nearby while doing your multi. I LOVE gadget geocaches, and this one was great!

The first part wasn't working. I think it got wedged in a little. I used some MacGuyver skills, twine, and a magnet to press on.

Second puzzle was awesome, and much faster. I'm glad I had experience with this lock type, it can be tricky. Got both locks open, and was happy to sign this log. Gets a fave, and I'll tell others to come get this one.

Thanks spyguy1! Logged Solterra Gadget Cache from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Love the idea. We love gadget geocaches. Spent about 50 minutes on it. Got a good combination, but could not make the lock work. Message us another hint if you feel like it.

Took a few but I got it in between rain storms. Just as I was putting it all back together it started raining again. Very fun. Tftc. Gets a fav from me.
