CTReviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
CTReviewer

Geocache Description:

Located in Racebrook Track Recreational Area in Orange and snow-friendly.

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY:

Parking Coordinates are 41-18.195N, 073-01.059W. This is a multi-stage micro with a really FUN twist!

All stages can be completed without ever leaving the boardwalk or paved trail and are located in an area that is handicapped accessible with assistance (gravel parking lot with a sloping paved path and a few inch lip up to the boardwalk). In fact, for the preservation of the area, DO NOT LEAVE THE TRAIL AS THERE IS NOTHING ON THE GROUND TO FIND. Use stealth if there are muggles about and be careful on any wet or snow-covered wood. (Very Slippery!))

The POSTED coordinates are NOT the cache coordinates but will bring you to a spot where you will find a hidden, fold-up mirror with instructions INSIDE on how to proceed. Make sure you open it all the way, or you will miss them! If you are group caching, you may wish to bring along a small mirror for each member to use. There is no need to touch or disturb any of the clues along the way, as the mirror is all that you need for your mission.

Take the mirror with you, find the clues, and follow the instructions on each. They will have you adding or subtracting from the last three digits (._ _ _ ) of the POSTED longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates (only concern yourself with the last three numbers). Come up with the right numbers, and you will have the coordinates to the final cache. Note: Calculator, paper, pen or pencil might be helpful, but you be the judge!

NOTE: If by chance you are not into math, or your calculations send you beyond the immediate area, you can decrypt the "BAIL OUT" clue. This will send you to the location where you can find the actual coordinates of the final cache. (All Yoda asks is that you admit to using this clue in your log.)

Once you have either determined the final coordinates to the micro or you have decided to give up and try another day, PLEASE replace the mirror EXACTLY as you found it so that the next cacher can use it.

This cache is very kid-friendly, but posted that pets are not allowed (tho' I've seen dogs every time I've been). The park is open dawn to dusk.

Though there is only room in the cache to trade very small items, please sign the log.

Enjoy!

(If you haven't done it already, while in the area, be sure to check out the “other” dog’s cache, “Bits, Nibbles, and Bytes” located in this same lovely park.)
