OBH deux

OldBoyHiker has again proven worthy. A second Frodo_13 Puzzle solved and FTF claimed. He may be soon challenged with a new cache in the daze to come. Congratulations.

New Cache posted ALA-Googleish

We posted a new cache called Ala-Googleish (its a new word so we spell it like we want to). Its is a puzzle, surprise, but its not difficult. At least its more interesting than the Da Vinci Code's marketing/ please go buy some movie tickets campaign. Sorry for the soapbox. Or not. There are some clues to finding information that will help solve this in the posts down below. Good luck and why haven't you tried the SpiderFish puzzle cache? Was that too hard?

SpiderFish Cache

This nasty puzzle cache had a FTF prize of a Euro-Geocoin, and some other cool goodies. Once the coordinates are discovered its a simple hike to the cache. OBH has proven quite worthy and supremely intelligent. Congratulations. There are many who seek, but few who see and find.

If a tree falls in the forest will you know its name?

We all like trees, or we should. The make all that cool oxygen we are so addicted to. As you stroll through the woods to Grand Ma Ma house, take a look around. Do you know any of those tall fellows by name. There is more than one kind of pine tree after all. In fact there are quite a few names that can help a traveler.

Fee Phi Foe

When looking at those things in nature that seem so perfect we are simply confirming our ancestors work with numbers and geometry. You need to know the simple value of Phi, or the Golden Proportion, or the Golden Mean. Simply take half of the sum of the square root of five plus one. Or you can check out this egghead's page.

Playfair and be nice

Knowing the rules of any game make it more fun. Here are some old rules from across the pond that may help some understand those things that are confusing.

History & Mystery

The 22nd state, the Heart of Dixie, the land of cotton. See what else you can discover about the Camellia State. It is always a good idea to double check your sources. There is some interesting reading on the real origin of the Alabama State flag. Interesting that an Irish rugby club still uses this flag as their own. And all of this posted by an Auburn Alumnus. Please don't tell anyone.
