This cache is hidden as a SNAKE would! It is definitely a C.I.T.O. terrain and winter accessible but not friendly! Top of the morning to you all. You may need the Luck o' the Irish to find this cache first! This is our celebration of St. Patrick's Day (March 17)- the Queen's favorite holiday - since, as far as "falling in love" goes, this was THE day she fell hard for Joker 1. To us it signals the coming of springtime. We wear shamrocks, green, and listen to lively Irish jigs all day. St. Patrick may not have chased the snakes out of Ireland and he may never have plucked a shamrock to teach the mystery of the Trinity. But when Patrick decided to go back to the Irish barbarians who had enslaved him, he had to figure out how to bring the values of the gospel he loved to such people. These were people who still practiced human sacrifice, who warred with each other constantly and who were renowned as the great slave traders of the day. He did teach the Irish how to love and when he died the Irish no longer practiced slavery or human sacrifice. This cache has a GREEN theme! So love spring or the Irish just a little - KISS ME-I'M IRISH!!!

Ok, so here's the story. I just finished a massive day of caching in general, and was sitting at home. The time... about 10:50pm. Killing some time, I happened to feel like perusing my find list, seeing who's found various caches after I had been there. Lo and behold, 3/4 of the way down page 5, I spotted something I thought I'd never see anywhere close to me. The icon for one of the official jeep TB's.

Checked the date... yesterday. Checked the time... somewhere close to 11:00pm. Safe bet it's been there over 24 hours... I'm calling it up for grabs :P. Main reason I went after this... about a month ago, I was pondering jeep TB's, and since they tend to dwell in the States, I didn't have much hope of seeing one. In fact, I had pretty much resolved myself to the thought that I'd never see an official jeep TB in my geocaching life.

And whaddya know, here I see the front of a yellow jeep icon, not 7 km south of where I live! *gasp* Pitch black out, still cold, but I had to go for it. Distinct possibility of it being gone even tonight (and not yet logged), or tomorrow if I went for it then. I had to try. Luckly I had found this one in the past, so I figured I had a good chance of finding it again. Don't worry though... I'll be releasing it again very shortly. Can't hang onto it for long... gotta let OTHERS get the chance to log it :}

Not to seem like a complete jerk though, I DID drop off a TB and a geocache army soldier here in it's place. I figured that to be capable of logging a jeep TB, I should at least leave SOMETHING for the next finder to log.

Took: Jeep TB

Woah, now THAT was a good hide! Was kinda hunting around from it from one side, and didn't see a thing. A few minutes later, when looking from a different angle, I thought I spotted the side of a lock & lock container. Going in for the kill, I found I was correct! Very nice hiding spot. TOTALLY didn't see that coming. If I hadn't been looking from that one angle, that likely would have ended up a DNF... or failing that it would have taken me a lot longer.
Never knew this monestary was here though. Wish I had more time before work to look around in there, but time wasn't on my side today :{. Excellent hide though... very clever .

Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry and chainmail ball (see profile).
