WOO HOO!
Or should I say 'hootie hoo!'? A couple other geocachers and I solved the puzzle and found
"Lemont Confidential" this afternoon! It has been posted for nearly a year with only two previous finds and those two were working together also. Chris had the third to find which was appropriate as it was his 4000th geocache!
I was very happy that we solved the puzzle, especially as we seemed stumped for a while. Once you know the solution all the clues make sense and it's a pretty elegant puzzle. Before you know the solution it seems like a mess.
Now I need to wash off the results of some serious bushwhacking on a hot day, and go help Pam and Tom pack.
