Geocache Description:

This cache was another attempt at a new camo technique (probably not as good as Watson's though). Calgary, I know you love puzzle micros!

***THERE IS NO CACHE AT THE ABOVE CO-ORDINATES***

If you can't make any sense (antisense?) of this puzzle, check out it's complement cache, Watson. You should be able to glean some additional hints from that cache description, although the actual code solution is completely independent from Crick's solution. And you should also realize that Crick's encryption is like Shrek's onion...LAYERS. Which is the first layer? How many layers? Do any layers look the same? Oops, maybe I've said too much!

Tips for searching for Crick: The microvial holds 10mL...about the size of a matchstick holder. It should be uncovered and visible from a standstill (not so for Watson), yet Crick's camo will not change with time (unless some falls off). I thought the camo job wasn't as convincing as Watson's so look for something 'too bulky'.
