Notes: There is much that can be said. The culmination of a lot of hard work. Jay grabbed most of the early stages. I solved the puzzles for #11 and #12. I grabbed stage 1 on Saturday evening 8/11. We both grabbed stage 2 on 8/15 around 9:45 AM. Then a stop at Swine Liver and Jay grabbed stage 3 later that afternoon. Then it was off to the final stage, and a return the next morning to bring back the TBs that we were supposed to leave in there.

Once Jay sent the numbers we figured out from the other Liver caches, I managed to solve it in about 5 minutes. Met Jay at parking lot at 9:00. Hiked in and got the FTF. I think this is the cache where I got about 50 or so chiggers on the first 0.2 miles of the hike. We were the first to find this stage, but one other group finished End Of Liver first, by solving the puzzle without using the information from this cache.
