For those who love a brain teaser, enjoy puzzles, follow clues, gaming, and a bit of techy, the Newberry Springs area has a real challenge that’s designed by local resident Brian Fisher. He’s a master of inventing geocaching puzzles and has created multiple locations causing you to go on the “hunt” around Newberry Springs. These are based on matching the location with a theme of the location and a very clever sequence one must discover to open the geocacher’s compartment. Brian’s geocache represents our local talent. Go on the hunt to see if you can solve Brian’s mysteries!
