Having completed my 25th find earlier today, it is time to publish my first “Top 3 List”. I will repeat this process each time I finish another twenty-five cache finds. Kudos to the cache owners listed below on these memorable hides!

#1 - Conundrum, by Slandgsmith
A puzzle cache in Willoughby, Ohio requiring the use of both deductive reasoning and internet search skills. Hiking to the cache was also a sloppy bugger at this time of year!
Difficulty: 4, Terrain: 2.5

#2 - Historic Oak Grove, by crossingRhodes
A traditional cache located in Chelsea, Michigan that represents the most creative hide we’ve encountered so far. It took the sharp eyes of both the Lady and I to spot this one. We must not be the only ones to find this one difficult, as the log shows a much higher percentage of did-not-finds than most caches.
Difficulty: 2.5, Terrain: 1

#3 - Our Place, by RyanD1177
A traditional cache located in Ann Arbor, Michigan that offered the most enjoyable hike of the first 25. It is located in the Saginaw Forest, a forestry research area owned by the University of Michigan.
Difficulty: 1.5, Terrain: 2.5

Honorable mentions: WH EXPRESS for an unexpected encounter with the law, The Chagrine Motel for best travel bug motel.
