Sky King Scatter Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Sky King 36: Hate to see this one go, this was one of my favorites, as it spawned over 30 other caches all over Iowa and southern MN. Thanks to all the many cachers who picked up a seed and set it on its way. And to snowandskitter, I would love to get it back and maybe place it elsewhere, but, I get back down to Cedar Rapids rarely now, so it might be a long time to hang on to it.

Geocache Description:

The first Sky King Scatter Cache. Full, ready to place caches are inside. ANYONE can log this cache, but if you take one of my scatter caches out of it, PLEASE abide by the rules below.

===================================
This is a "scatter cache" and inside this container, I keep 6 match-tube caches that are ready to hide. They have a container, a log, a pencil, a cover-sheet... All you do is fill in your name and the cache name on the cover sheet, hide it, post it, and you're done. You can literally find mine, and hide yours, on the same trip.

Please note the rule change, I originally wanted to keep all the seeds near here, to benefit CR area cachers, but after reading a few logs have thought better of it. It would be kind of cool to have them in distant places, so I am deleting rule 2.

You do NOT have to take a scatter cache to log this. But if you do take one, you are agreeing to:

1. Take only one per finder
2. Disregard
3. Hide it within 30 days -- Please! People are stretching this
4. Mark in the log, both on paper and online that you took one so I can decide when to refill.
5. Name it whatever you want, but proceed the name with "SKSC: ". So if you want to name your "Goat Rodeo" then the actual name will be "SKSC: Goat Rodeo."

I'll see how this goes. This is a first for me, and if it is successful and people abide by the rules, I'll probably keep refilling it periodically.

Congrats to BJD15 on the FTF. And thanks to SuperGoober for spotting my sophomoric typo in the original title! I didn't have any room left for other SWAG until the scatter caches are all gone. No SWAG is wasted, if you leave any and I have to take it out to refill it with scatter caches, I'll pass your SWAG along.
