Another puzzle, but not a micro. The container is a hot liquid
thermos received at the "It's A Celebration" event. Didn't need one
at the house, so trying it out in the field. Have seen this type of
container before, but let me know quickly of any problems.
The genesis of this cache was listening to Podcacher podcast
about Sonny hitting the difficult virtual cache on Yosemite
Half-Dome. The cache title of "Semidome Loft, Yeah!" was an
anagram, which then got me thinking about my next hide. A quick
search of gc.com finds less than a dozen caches with the word
"anagram" in their title. Easy would be to do the short words
separately. More difficult was the anagram crossword puzzle. But I
decided to do the whole coord in two parts as someone might say
them. Folks have written solving tools which can help you break
these down, nevertheless gave it a four star difficulty rating as I
tried to solve it myself the following day. Appears to be about
right with other puzzle caches in the area.
So enjoy reversing these lines:
"My witty hint: Hounds’ teeth go into tiny x’s hidden
under terror trees."
and
"O’, I never regret the sweet foot muddiness when thee get
it. eo"
So here's geochecker to confirm your solution:

The container is hidden on a hillside with several valid
locations. Please place it back so that it cannot be readily seen
in case others wander this direction. Accuracy is 25' so think
about where you would stash a container in this area. The parking
area is also popular with fisherman heading to the Holston River
and teens parking, so be aware of others during these time
periods.
Oh yeah, the cache is not at the given coordinates, which would
take you to Pizza Hut in Colonial Heights, where my wife and I
first ate when we visited Kingsport 20+ years ago for a job
interview. The actual cache is within a couple of miles from
there.
10/6/08 update: Okay, see the owner's maintenance log for how I
really messed up the original final coords. Many apologies to the
four DNF's. Did you have fun anyway?
10/12/08 update: It has been correctly pointed out that the west
coord does not have a unique solution. With logic, you should be
able to get down to six options. Appears that folks are then trying
them one at a time into the geochecker to confirm the right
solution.
