Mini Railroad in the Forest? | Geocaching Vlog

I love this! It is so cool that people respect and preserve this venue. You are so enjoyable to watch!

That foot bridge... that’s my foot bridge- I fell over in that creek on cross country skis when I was a little girl and my Grampy (aka Chooch), constructed the Jenna Wertheim Memorial Bridge ❤️ Thank you for the video- glad you enjoyed his spot so much!

Very cool video! I did this cache maybe 14 - 15 years ago, now maintained by caching friends. Def in my top 10 favorite caches. Have fun!

That train track is awesome! That took some time to assemble. Thanks for sharing 👍

Really awesome cache!!! I'd be thrilled to come across a railroad track anywhere out in the wild. Although, I would desperately want to get an engine from the locked depot so I could witness it travel the entire length of the track. Cool video of a cool place, a wonderfully pleasant place to discover! Thanks for sharing!!!

Too bad you didn’t meet “Chooch”, the guy who made all of this. We’ve been friends since the early 1970s. A very “ neat” and creative guy.

[@AllisonDonahue]

I think we did, actually! We talked to someone who certainly either owned or knew a lot about it, I wish we had asked more but we didn’t want to bother them! It was an older man and a slightly younger one, they were putting up a new wooden “toy box” sign they made and asked if we would help load the scattered toys into it!

Verrrry cool. Nothing quite like that around here !!

Anyone else notice the small animal that runs away at 2:18? Looked like a mouse or a mole or something! :) Kind of one of those "blink and you'll miss it" things

I hope you do more geocaching vlogs, very much enjoying watching them :)

That is a really neat and creative geocache. Cheers.

[@PiepsiPanic]

4:35 In this particular case the digit is missing an underscore which would indicate whether it was a 6 or a 9. So, is there a way to determine which it is? Sure, you could try both digits in the combination, and if the first digit you try does not work, then it must be the other . . . but what if that combination was set to trigger a bomb if an incorrect combination is attempted??? Then, you can not utilize a process of elimination to determine which digit is the correct one, for it may be you who becomes eliminated in the process. Yet once again, how do you determine which digit is correct. Puzzle designers do not want their puzzle-solvers resorting to trial and error, and there is always a solution somewhere, and for a puzzle that has a step involving unlocking a combination lock, somewhere, somehow there will be a method for determining that combination. Both in reality, and in the puzzle world, similar elements tend to have some consistency to them in regards to some attribute. Otherwise, if something sticks out by not being consistent with the others, that is usually some form of a clue. What is there in this puzzle? Numbers on the bottom of birdhouses which we have already been informed will provide us with the combination for a lock. 1 was obvious, as was 32, but then we have either a 6 or a 9 with no underscore to differentiate which is which. However, with consistency we know that with both the 1 and the 32 the bottom of those digits were against the tree trunk, and their tops were away from the tree. Assuming the next number is likely to be consistent in its orientation to the first two numbers we can reasonably infer that it is most definitely a number 9. I have yet to watch the solution, so I am curious to see if my logic stands.
