Geocache Description:

The container is a 35mm film can. After signing log please wind it back up. Bring your own pen.

This cache is inspired by the life of a negative. Let me tell you the story. A negative starts out as a wee roll of film in the grocery store. One day it is purchased, the sad thing is that nobody likes to be bought or sold so his journey starts out rough. Then it is taken home and used (it is used to take pictures of trees, children, mountains, geocachers, etc.). It is a hard life to be used. Then the poor roll of film is taken to the store where they cut off it's foot (the little tab on the end) and is taped to a big, flat piece of plastic. It is then sacrificed to a giant monster (the negative processor/ machine). It then comes out exposed (AHH... it is naked!). The next part is the best part of it's life. It is then given therapy where all of it's trials are brought out into the open for all to see (the paper processor/ printer where the prints come out). It finally thinks that life will turn out alright after all, until... it is cut into tiny bits and put in plastic sleeving and then placed in a dark envelope to only then be put in a closet where no one will ever find it's body. Please be kind to your negatives and give them the respect and thought they deserve. (Be kind, please rewind.)
