Great video. Using the cans and blanket were funny. I don't do many mystery caches because some of them are diabolical. I know that sometimes you want to be a legend, but really? Ha ha. There was one hider who was very clever, but I managed to figure out some of his hides. One that is now archived was named 802.1 but no clues on the page. You had to go to the fake coordinates, and know that 802.1 was the spec for wi-fi. Being a geek, I knew that much. Once there, you could look at your phone and find a wifi router with an odd name... the name was the coordinates for the real cache!
So true! Some of them really are diabolical. I get so happy when I do figure out these puzzles but most of them time I am clueless. I want that legend status lolol Just kidding, I have accepted my defeat with a lot of these puzzle caches. That wifi one sounds pretty clever. What is sad is I have an IT degree and I am not sure I would have caught on and figured it out. I tend to over think everything before I start simple. Congrats on figuring that one out and well played by the cache hider!
Lovely seeing you again! I find many puzzles so confusing, I rarely know where to even start solving them. But when I do, I stay away from all mysteries that doesn't have any checkers 😅
I am with you on that. There are so many that I do not even know where to begin. So many that I spent hours on to just find out too late that there was no checker. I hope we see more mystery caches with checkers 😊 Thank you for watching the video!
My gosh, how much caffeine do you NEED?! 😂 But seriously, yes it's nice to have a geochecker on those puzzles, for sure. I think I better go check my puzzle hide pages and see if I've included one on all of mine. Some of my puzzles predate the time geocaching implemented a built-in checker for their cache pages, so I had to use a third party checker on some of those.
listen these puzzle can be tough. I needed all the caffeine I could get to jump start my brain. 😆 Thank you for going back and checking your puzzle caches. I assume that is why a lot are missing a checker is because they are old and it wasn't an option back then unless you went third party. I made this video in hopes to nudge a few more people to maybe go back and check their old puzzle caches. I hope it works 🤞
I have alot of mystery hides. I always include the solution checker unless I use certitude as that will always verify correct answers and update coordinates keeping the solution in the notes section of the cache. I always am open to people asking for hints too for solving. Glad to see you on here posting a video. Lol well done little skit!!! Come to Texas for the Blockparty!!!! would love to see you again!!! You came to my event in Chattanooga and Phooned with us at the webcam.... haha... great memories!!!!
Thank you! It is nice to hear from someone who has hidden mystery caches. I am glad to hear you do add the solution checker. I wasn't aware of certitude but that also seems really helpful when solving a mystery cache. I should ask for help more from the cache owners. I don't know why i am so shy about it. I am sure they are just like you are open to helping and providing hints. Texas sounds amazing right now. I moved back to Pennsylvania and it is about to get cold here which I am not a big fan of. That webcam cache may be my only webcam find. Thanks for sharing that memory with me 😊
Good to see a video again! I agree- I’ve seen a few with no checker and just don’t bother trying to solve. I’ve only done maybe 40? Mystery ones out of 2000 finds, so I’m not a huge fan, but o have enjoyed solving a particular co’s easy to solve ones and going out to find them. I’ve never attempted to make a puzzle cache, just not my thing. I’ve hidden over 100 hides over my 15? Yrs of caching, but standard ones with tricky containers.
I completely understand. Unless it seems pretty easy with no checker, I may not even bother. that is awesome that have had over 100 hides yourself. I am curious about the tricky containers. Are they ones that are tricky to open or tricky to find because of how well they blend in?
I loved the slow addition of cans!😂, but I love hiding puzzle caches and I always put a geochecker link and use the one that they offer on the website.
Thank you for noticing the cans. I appreciate that you have the geocheckers on your puzzle caches. It is nice to hear from puzzle cache hiders. I am glad you love hiding puzzles caches. Those caches are a nice change of pace from the traditional cache and something fun to do whenever I can't get outside to go geocaching.
after solving a puzzle cache that's over an hour drive I would really appreciate a checker because like you said a couple numbers wrong could put you miles away from the cache
I need to try the sparkling ones. I think I tried every flavor of the non sparkling ones but I will try sparkling too. What flavor do you like the best?
Those drinks are good. I do behave though and don't drink that many that fast. I miss going outside for geocaches too. I still need to get a car. I think you meant to say Goo Broncos 🤣
I have 15 or so with checkers... be it the soloution checker or a certitude one... And 8 don't have any form of checkers... 2 because they are adopted... and others for various reasons... with what3words, depending which site you use to convert, sometimes the seconds will be different, I actually removed a checkers for this reason... Others because it gives the coords once you solve a jigsaw puzzle or look in the source code ect Then I have one where you solve puzzles in pictures to get locations where you need to gather info to get you to another location that then gives you the final... so a checker won't really help there much either. Those are my reasons and I'm sticking to it 😅 But most locals know... just message me, I will help, guide, give and confirm when asked lol
Thank you for your perspective! You have been at this game for a long time so I trust you. That stinks that the checkers can give different seconds. That would definitely throw me off. I appreciate you for letting me know about those other scenarios. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I have two that don't have them because they're self solving. If you get the right answer there's only one answer that will work. They're not easy puzzles but if you get it wrong you'll be in another country
It takes me so long to figure out where to even begin on some of these puzzles. I appreciate you for having the checker on your puzzle caches! Thank you!
This video sponsored by V8. Drink energy drinks responsibly. These days I skip puzzle caches that don't have a checker, although I have done plenty in the past before the checker was implemented, but that was before I knew better and you always hoped it was the right spot when you got to ground zero. It wasn't always.
true definitely drink your energy drinks responsibly 🤣 It is a little heart breaking to think you got the puzzle right and find out you probably aren't at the correct ground zero. Let's just hope more people will add a checker after watching this.
Welcome back! Always glad to see that smile made of sunshine ❤
aww thank you so much
It's a good idea to put the Geochecker on the puzzle cache page. I agree, don't be that geocacher who doesn't put one on.
yes, let us have a way to know if we solved it correctly 😊

Totally agree with you! I usually don’t do puzzle caches, but if I do, I want some way of knowing I did find the solution before going out to find it!
Thank you! It is nice knowing if you are in the right area when searching for the cache. 😊

What a great video! Yes I agree, you need a geo Checker. Keep doing these videos.
Yes, that is right! Add those geo checkers to mystery cache pages 😆
after solving a puzzle cache that's over an hour drive I would really appreciate a checker because like you said a couple numbers wrong could put you miles away from the cache
oh yes, especially if it is a long drive!
Nice video. Very cute. And yes, I did notice the cans and chuckled out loud. 😅
yay! i am glad it didn't go unnoticed 🤣
Great video, and I love those V8 Energy - I like the sparkling ones the best.
I need to try the sparkling ones. I think I tried every flavor of the non sparkling ones but I will try sparkling too. What flavor do you like the best?
@@Stardustzzz Orange Pineapple is my favorite. My backup is the Black Cherry.
@@HummerGirl88 I like both of those in the non sparkling. I will try them as the sparkling version. Black cherry as you can see is my favorite 😊
Hi Jamie.. first I thought wow she's addicted to those drinks lol
And second I miss you going out looking for geocaches.
And Boo Broncos!
😜
Those drinks are good. I do behave though and don't drink that many that fast. I miss going outside for geocaches too. I still need to get a car. I think you meant to say Goo Broncos 🤣
I think if it depends. We have a bunch of super easy obvious puzzle caches in my area that you don't need it.
I have 15 or so with checkers... be it the soloution checker or a certitude one...
And 8 don't have any form of checkers...
2 because they are adopted... and others for various reasons... with what3words, depending which site you use to convert, sometimes the seconds will be different, I actually removed a checkers for this reason...
Others because it gives the coords once you solve a jigsaw puzzle or look in the source code ect
Then I have one where you solve puzzles in pictures to get locations where you need to gather info to get you to another location that then gives you the final... so a checker won't really help there much either.
Those are my reasons and I'm sticking to it 😅
But most locals know... just message me, I will help, guide, give and confirm when asked lol

Interesting! thank you for sharing. yes, sounds like a wrong answer would definitely put someone out of that two mile radius 🤣
The biggest problem I have is trying to understand the puzzle theme…..but to add my view, on my few puzzles I add the checker.
It takes me so long to figure out where to even begin on some of these puzzles. I appreciate you for having the checker on your puzzle caches! Thank you!
