Puzzle series weekend

A while back I started working some puzzle caches, and I spent a bit of time Saturday morning solving many of them, plotting on a map, and driving around finding them with my hubby. We found around ten on Saturday before we had to head on home, then went back out on Sunday to find more. We ending up grabbing 23 in this series of mainly park and grabs once the puzzles were solved, and we have a few more solved that we will grab as time permits.

What I think I loved most about the series was getting to work out some math and chemistry problems. That was a welcome challenge to me, and I hope to find some more like this to attempt later.

There were MANY muggles out at these locations, and I really wish I'd gotten better pictures, as there was clearly a convention in the area...

Also, came across this tennis court that has clearly seen better times.

And, finally, this pair of Mustangs.

My favorite puzzles of the ones we've finished:

• Geocaching ions
• REDEUX:Chemistry class ideas for a puzzle cache #2
• REDEUX:Chemistry class ideas for a puzzle cache #4

Also, here was my t-shirt choice of the day, in keeping with the theme of many of the caches found.

Getting revenge on a previous DNF

A while back, we spent close to an hour looking for Rusty Bridge #4. Today, we found it. Finally!

We then headed across town to try our hand at Rusty Bridge #5 (Bridge to Nowhere). We were intrigued by the name, and since it was in the same series, we went for it. This one was much easier, and the location was just odd.

Caching in New Mexico

Flew into Albuquerque and drove to Santa Fe to spend the weekend for a very cold and snow covered time. Ate a late dinner at Epazote - fantastic!

Got some sleep, then woke up sick and found out I didn't pack any shirts. So, a quick trip to the store for things to clear that up. Then breakfast, and then some exploring and caching.

We started with a cache near our breakfast spot, then did the Santa Fe Geocaching Challenge. A fun way to explore the city and accomplish something at the same time. After this, we grabbed lunch and then relaxed some.

Decided to hit up some book stores (Santa Fe has a large number of these) and then found some more caches. These were all pretty good - one png, but all interesting or at least a good story.

Sunday, we work up early and went out in search of the ghost hunt series. Also an interesting show of the city, and it was interesting to hear the stories. I recommend this ahead of the one by the city, but both were good adventures.

Caches for the weekend (at least, the interesting ones):
Clock Tower
You're in Good Hands
Santa Fe Ghost Hunt #1: La Llorona
Santa Fe Ghost Hunt #2: Julia Staab
