How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The first cache in the FORTITUDE series. These caches are designed to test your physical or mental capabilities. This cache is on a narrow public greenspace. No bushwhacking or trespassing is required.

 

flashlight Flashlight recommended but, perhaps not required.
lunch Could be a lunch cache. Depends on the
expectations of your appearance back at work.



There is no getting around it. Given the right set of circumstances, finding this cache could put you at risk. Make sure you have read the geocaching.com disclaimer. Haven't read it in a while? Now's a great time to reread it. If you have any qualms, this is the time to hit the back button on your browser. No hard feelings. It was probably a good choice. By the time the page loads, you'll be feeling better already.

Still here? Ok, here's the deal: If it is raining heavily, or has been in the last 24 hours, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE. If conditions are relatively dry, this cache should be safe for your physical well-being. As for your mental state…well, your mileage may very. Here's your last chance and fair warning. If you suffer from any of the following, this is probably not the cache for you:
 
Dystychiphobia
Isolophobia
Agrizoophobia
Myrmecophobia
Neophobia
Bacteriophobia
Apiphobia
Melanophobia
Bogyphobia
Hygrophobia
Ichthyophobia
Atychiphobia

Lygophobia
Nyctophobia
Mottephobia
Anginophobia
Autodysomophobia
Olfactophobia
Phobophobia
Cynophobia
Herpetophobia
Catagelophobia
Dermatosiophobia

And especially not if you suffer from:
 
Arachnophobia
Taphephobia
Pnigophobia
Anginophobia
Molysmophobia
Misophobia
Herpetophobia
Antlophobia
Stenophobia
Batrachophobia
Verminophobia
Potamophobia
Blennophobia
Hydrophobia
Claustrophobia

As for the difficulty, for some this will be a difficulty 5. For others it will be a 1. I'll err on the low side to give credit to the adventurous spirit of geocachers. Please be sure to replace the cache where you found it (on the velcro). As of 7/24/05 I've replaced the cache and added a few simple trade items along with a Rite-In-Rain log.

Update 9/22/06 - Thanks to klossner for watching over this one while I was on geo-sabatical up north!
