Pict-O-Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Pixie_Tracker: This has been a fun cache, but the terrain has changed enough that we've decided to archive it, as it is now difficult to retrieve it without being seen.

There was a "geofish" in the cache, which we will move along to another cache.

Geocache Description:


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

07/03/04 Note: As some posters noted having problems with #13, we decided to add a clue for this picture (see encrypted hint). That way if you get stuck on this item, there is a bit more help you can use out in the field. Hope that helps!

NOTE (May 19th): As Hooked mentioned, in the logs below, the plants/trees that covered the final location for the cache have been removed this week. The cache should still be ok where it is as long as the container is pushed far enough back (but where a person can still reach it). It will also make getting/placing it a LOT harder - so use your secret agent skills for this. We may move this cache if new log entries state concerns.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This cache requires that you start at the posted coordinates. From the starting point, you will then look for the item shown in picture #1. Once found, proceed to this item and get as close to being under/over/next to it as possible. From there, continue on to the next picture (and so on) until you have found the last pic. Occassionally, you may need to step out a few feet to get a better vantage point to find the next location...

Each item shown can be seen from the location of the picture prior. However, the pictures shown here may have been taken at a closer or slightly different angle from the way you will see it from your standing location but once you get to the item you should be able to confirm that you are at the right object. Pictures may be a far distance away or they may be fairly close... so you'll need a sharp and discerning eye to progress through the numbers. Also, it is advised that you print the photos in color but if you *really* want a challenge, try them in black/white.

Note that you will never need to enter a building to continue but as you move on to the final cache spot, enjoy the various architectural features you may see on the way.

How to print pictures from Internet Explorer - Hover your mouse over each picture set (set A = pictures 1-9, set B = 10-18, set C = 19-27 and set D = 28-32) and you will see a print control appear that looks like this:

Select the printer icon and your machine's print selector should appear. Otherwise, you can select the link "Make this page print-friendly (no logs)" shown at the top, left (above the cache description). This will show you a print-friendly page from which you can use your browser to print (File > Print).

Final Note: You might need to be rather stealthy in retrieving the container depending on the time of day/day of the week you visit the cache site. Weekends are recommended. Also, the container only had room for a logbook, so please bring your own pen/pencil to log your visit. Finally, we'd like to thank DoodleR for giving this cache a test run and her comments were extremely valuable!
