Pot O' Gold: Orange

It seems as if Pittsburgh cachers have a love/hate relationship with micros.  Chris and I love them; everyone else hates them!

Well, the Pot O’ Gold series of caches will give you the best of both worlds.  In order to earn a trip into the woods, you must first find seven micros located in very public places around the city.  The micros may not be especially challenging hides, but getting to them without being seen will be!  You will also find that many of the seven micros are placed in areas that are nearby other regular sized caches to promote visits to these caches as well!

 

In order to find Pot O’ Gold: End of the Rainbow, you must first visit each of the colors in the rainbow.  At each of these seven caches, you will be given information that will help you find the End of the Rainbow.  Six of the seven micros will list one of the coordinates for End of the Rainbow, and the other will provide you with a form to fill in the given coordinates.  You do not need to complete these in any given order, but be sure to take a pen/pencil to sign the log, and also a piece of paper to keep track of the coordinates. 

 

After completing Pot O’ Gold: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet, you will be on your way to finding Pot O’ Gold: End of the Rainbow.  This final cache is an ammo can hidden in South Park, in an area that we don’t believe many will be familiar with.  As the name suggests, End of the Rainbow is filled with nicer trade items, so please keep this in mind when trading.  Also, for the first lucky finder, we have left another cache that is stocked and ready to be placed.  Please hide this cache within a ten mile radius of where you found it!  The cache to take is the round Rubbermaid container—NOT the ammo can!
