I am not fond of traffic circles and there is certainly not one where this cache is hidden.

---

The cache is certainly not in the swimming pool as shown on the map although parking nearby would certainly be a fairly good choice. To find the cache, you certainly have to solve the following puzzle:

US 302 @ N 44° 16.252
US 113 @ N 38° 40.930
US 127 @ N 40° 39.080
US 87 @ N 48° 33.315
US 85 @ N 43° 50.918

US 71 @ N 46° 26.536
US 7 @ N 43° 36.640
US 21 @ N 36° 37.343
US 70 @ W 097° 58.935
US 385 @ N 40° 35.132

The funnest route to the cache would certainly be the low road from the Northridge Rec Center Parking lot.

Beware of small muggles in the area.

I solved this maybe six months ago. Super fun puzzle and very creative. I like puzzles that make you think but that are also very doable. This definitely fits that category and earns a favorite from me. I had avenged a nearby DNF and was running out of time to cache while my son was at flag football practice.

I scrambled up the hill (realizing on the way back I took the harder way up) and made my way to GZ as fast as I could. Knowing I only had minutes to search I admit I panicked a little. It hasn't been found in 10 months. It's a nano. There are SO many places to hide! But, thankfully the coords are absolutely spot on. Once I knew the right area to search, I had the cache in hand much faster than I expected.

Sadly, the o-ring that was replaced last year has stiffened and cracked. But the log was crisp and dry and beautifully blank.

It was a beautiful night to be out and I only wish I had time to enjoy it more. But, I made it back to the practice on time and that was what matters!

Thanks for the hide cajrrman. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

Solved awhile ago. Caching in the area today. Found on a nice walk with geodog Dakota. Log is still wet. Took awhile to spot it. It's not in the yucca plants. Thanks for the fun puzzle cache. SL.

grabbed this one with OF-Erad and K9Jayhawk. Terrain was a little muddy but a great day for caching. Log was damp but still in good shape. Took the o-ring from inside the container and put it on correctly so hopefully there are no more moisture issues. TFTC Semper Fi- OMUSMC
