Someone drank THAT? Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

PinkDolphin: I would first like to thank all cachers who have visited the Springs to find this cache over the years. I would also like to thank Paintfiction for allowing me to adopt this location for the Tour de Fuquay-Varina series. In the next few days look for a new cache at this location. It will be a different type of hide, with a new number, so come on back to Fuquay and find all the caches in this series and all the other caches in town. Thank you.

Geocache Description:

This is the fifth of my new and improved, urban, high risk, micro geocaches for the Triangle area. (see? I'm catching on...) I've got a diabolical idea for another but then that'd make 6 and if I do 6, I may as well make it an even 7. SHEESH! Maybe I should stick with 5. we'll see....

Cinco de Mayo has arrived! Yeah... yeah... my timing is a bit off. It's the story of my life.

This microcache is your basic aquatic turtle (Red-eared Slider and Florida Cooter are my 2 hard shelled pets) floating food stick container. In other words, it's a little bigger than your basic 35mm film container but is still modified by yours truly into a proper geocaching micro container. The container has been placed in an area designed to be highly visible that is accessible 24/7/365. This cache is a departure for me because there is very little danger nearby unless you are REALLY clumsy and could drown in 6" of water or maybe you like wandering in the nearby traffic or you could trip on your way to the coordinates (didn't I tell you to look up from that GPS once in a while?) and bust your head open on the corner of a big granite thingee or even stub that big fat left toe of yours.

The cache container is not visible (when properly hidden!) but is not a difficult find *IF* you do what you're supposed to be doing at the coordinates.

The cache container contains:

1. New and improved (translation = same as before) geocache paperwork with special attention given to the MEFF.

2. First finder prize!

3. Second finders prize! (first finder - DON'T MAkE ME COME OVER THERE!)

4. Several small trade items.

5. Bring your own pen. I'm too darn lazy to put my pen idea into practice.


Cache on, DUDE and DUDETTES, Dudelets, Duditos and Duditas!

The flood gates have opened now... Did I miss anyone?

UPDATE June 18, 2006: Container has been changed to a 35mm wrapped in camo tape. Thanks for the wash job Alberto!

UPDATE October 10, 2006: I updated the difficulty a full point due to recent difficulties in finding the container. That should up your numbers a smidge.
