Well-camoed container is twice the size of a film canister with a logbook and pencil and FTF certificate. We'll DELETE spoilers without apology ASAP. Good luck. The picture is not a puzzle but is a flashback for HUNGRY local cachers who participated in a humorous cache in our last years event. Inside Joke. This is a TOUGH hide and yes the co-ords are good. MUGGLES EVERYWHERE both 2 footed and 4. Thanks to Viajero Perdido for genius inspiration.


Rehide it exactly the same and make sure you keep it camoed as well as you found it - naturally.

Congrats to 41 caching teams that have found it by Oct 1, 2008- HUGE congrats to MHZ who found it first! P.S. It has never gone missing!

Found it 5/29/2007 by Kabuthunk
Second time's the charm! Probably the fastest successful dinifra I've ever had to boot... THE NEXT DAY! After having been somewhat dejected after the cache was disabled, it's nice to hear that nothing bad happened to it after all BigSmile.

See, told ya Queen... just because I didn't find it and THOUGHT it was lost certainly didn't mean that it was ToungeOut. I figured there was a good chance I missed it, but wanted to report what I reported on the offchance that it was.

BUT... after checking back and seeing that the cache was not only reenabled, but ALSO that others had checked on it to confirm that it was there! Looking at the clock on my computer, I see 8:27 staring back at me. That's not in the morning either ToungeOut.

Well, I didn't even need to think twice. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of that particular moment, I ended up being held up for about 10 minutes further Shock. However... after said 10 minutes passed, I instantaneously hurled on my jacket and shoes, and out the door I went! No time to bike there today, the light is fading by the minute! Into the car I jump, and head on over. When I stopped in the parking lot, it was approximately 9:00pm. Sunset is supposed to be at 9:22 today. With it being cloudy (and drizzly... which left the park absolutely dead-empty for me), I knew that it'd start getting dark even before that. A quick run into the park, and about 3 minutes later I'm standing where I was yesterday. LET THE HUNT BEGIN ANEW BigSmile.

So... for about 5 minutes worth of quickly decreasing sunlight, I kept at the exact same method of searching I had used the previous day. Then I stopped and looked at things from a different angle. Given the actions that I took after yesteday's DNF, the resultant actions, and specifically what people said... I came to the realization that I was going about the search ENTIRELY wrong! Little did I know that the answer I had been seeking was right in my face (well... mind, anyway ToungeOut) the entire time. So... about 45 seconds later, I spot what can only be one thing... THE CACHE BigSmile.

And by the way Queen... you are very, very evil ToungeOut. That was arguably one of the most diabolical cache hides I've come across. Love it BigSmile.

Took: Nothing

Didn't find it 5/28/2007 by Kabuthunk
Unfortunately, today was not my lucky day for finding this one. It was a somewhat rainy day, so luckly there was noone around in any direction. Unfortunately however... the absence of random bystanders didn't help me find this fella.

After about 5 minutes, I came to a conclusion as to approximately HOW it must be hidden as well as the most likely camouflage that it would be using. I basically walked a grid north and south, poking and pulling at everything that I thought could conceivably be camouflage. At that point, I checked ye olde palm pilot, and checked the past few logs. one of them implied the accuracy of the coords were very good (to within 2 meters for them), and given how accurate it was with previous caches today... I kept getting drawn to one location that looks like it may have at one point held a geocache container.

Due however to 1Queenand4Jokers's wish that no spoilers be listed, I'll be emailing them the picture directly, to see if I was on the right trail. I found a location that looks like it may have been likely holding a container at one point (very circular, flat bottom, etc, etc), but was empty at the time.

It could very well be that I simply missed it... and kept searching for another 10 minutes or so hoping that was the case, but no dice Frown.

Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye on this cache. Once it's either found again or I have some indication that it's still there... Ima goin' back for more Smile.
