[GeoStL] Re: Was Mummy Now Puzzles

Mike,

I'd rather have 1 cache find on one of my puzzle caches than 100 at a
traditional.  Knowing someone took more time than punching in (or
downloading) coordinates and looking means a lot to me.

Taking "Hook 'em Up" out of the equation, I have received more
positive logs on my puzzles than I think I ever will on any
traditional.  People who enjoy doing them do them; those that don't
won't.

I also spent a week or so solving all of Know Future's caches (it
takes at least two hours each, and that's if you know what you're
doing!).  What I love about his puzzles is that all the information
you need is on the cache page, whether linked or showing on it.
Anyone could figure them out if they took the time.

I plan on making a trip down there sometime to get them all.  I've
actually got a "Know Future" route planned to hit all of his as well
as some along the way.
