Can You Solve The
Mystery?
What is a
mystery? Let's take a look at one of the definitions of the word:
mys·tery
- the secret or specialized practices or ritual peculiar to an occupation or a
body of people
That
definition definitely applies to geocachers. We are quite a secretive group of
people and have our own 'secret society'. For the most part, we are unknown to
the general population. Often when we are seen in public performing our rituals
people think we are strange. After all, we do place containers filled with
trinkets and log books in the strangest of places; places where most people
would never venture. Not only do we hide these containers in strange places, we
go look for containers hidden by others of our mindset. All in all, geocaching
is very mysterious.
To
add to the mystery of geocaching, I have created a mystery cache. What I have
hidden is a secret a.k.a. a mystery. Even though the geocache is a mystery,
there are a few things I can tell you about the geocache. The geocache is hidden
in a very public area. If you are shy about being seen while geocaching,
then you should attempt to find this geocache under the cover of darkness or
possibly bring along a camera so you can pretend you are taking pictures in the
area. When searching for the geocache, I suggest being very stealthy. Remember,
if you act as if you belong in an area, most people will never give you a second
glance, but if you act mysterious, you will attract attention to yourself. You
may want to leave the kids at home or in the car when hunting for the cache, as
to not attract any undue attention yourself.
Once
you locate the geocache, you may feel the need to remove it from the area where
it lives to be able to actually sign the log. If you remove the geocache from
the area, please make sure to return it to its exact hiding location in
the exact same manner as you found it so the next geocacher can have the same
fun experience as you did. By hiding the geocache back in the exact same manner,
it also keeps the geocache from being discovered by non-geocachers. After you
find the geocache, if you look closely at it you will see some information on it
which you may find useful when dealing with the geocache.
Please
do not post any spoilers in your logs. Any logs containing spoilers will be
deleted.
Good luck on
your search for this mystery geocache!
