It seems like all those “brain games” and “lateral thinking” puzzles in those books; but you can never come up with one yourself.
I want to come up with something good/interesting; not just plop something into a decent hiding place. [edit: Perhaps I misuse the word ‘plop’ here; as I usually like finding others’ geocaches, and I’m sure they don’t ‘plop’ them down just anywhere. But it’s not enough for me.]
I think I’ve got a great “part” of it, but I don’t think I want to “start” there.
edit: A day later… [that reminds me of a time I was returning a movie; the attendant said, “It’s a day late.” I said, “What a coincidence, I’m a dollar short.” No reply – not even a change of expression.] Anyway, I went looking for things around town to talk about, giving clues to find my stuff. I’ll have to go again, b’cuz I was concentrating more on “waymarkers” than on “hiding places.” I found &/or thought of several interesting clues.

edit:another day later: “C.I.T.O.” I was in a grave yard, and I saw a beer can, and I picked it up, and was just about to take it to the car when I remembered that some guys take beer cans to their buddies’ grave; particularly if they were in a war together. I looked around, and sure enough, there was a grave very close that had another beer can on it. “The more you knowd”
