Elegantly Evil Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

iowaPete: Time to say goodbye to this little cache. The original area that hid the container has changed a little bit. It's a bit more exposed than it used to be. Had a lot of fun setting this up. I wanted to put out a cache whose title began with a rare letter (there really aren't that many caches that start with the letter E), and I wanted the D/T to be a little different.

I'm glad that it was so well received. I hope to put out more caches in the future that are as popular! Thanks to everybody who came out to chase it....

Geocache Description:

A tricky off-set cache located in Buzzard Ridge Wildlife Area


I strive to place caches that are straightforward to find, but once in a while, the gremlin in me shines forth.  While hiking in Buzzard Ridge I came across an opportunity to place a fairly tough cache for you grid-filling cachers to enjoy.  The cache is NOT at the listed coords.  Instead, you will come to a post with a number sign attached.  Take that number and double it.  That's the number of feet you'll have to walk away from the post in order to find the tree in which this cache is placed.  Which direction?  Hmm... I'll leave that up to you.  What kind of container?  Nope.  You'll have to assume the worst, and search for that.  How's it camo'd?  Think tough and you'll be right.  Bring along a scribbler.  You're gonna need it.
