jcar: Since the purpose of the cache was fulfilled quite some time back and many months passed without even someone looking for it, I think it is time to archive this one.
Don't be surprised to see the puzzle again some day, or some form of it, I probably should have reused it recently for another puzzle.
Thank you to all who visited. I enjoyed the logs but especially what people told me in person about how they went about solving the puzzle part of this cache.
