When I announced that our next school field trip would be to the
zoo, several of my students chimed in by saying “Now we can go
GEOCACHING!” Coming from them that thought was a little
surprising, but hey, they seemed sincere and there was a geocache
already at the zoo, so I agreed to let them try to find that
existing cache. As we prepared to go, someone suggested than the
class should hide a couple of geocaches in honor of our trip. Now
the field trip is over and we did just that--we hid two new 35mm
film cannisters along two of the newer attractions at the zoo.
Now, there is NO funny business involved with either cache. Both
caches are straight-forward “find the container, find the cache”
type caches. The hint will be a B-I-G spoiler, so unless it is
absolutely necessary, you might NOT want to look at it immediately.
Both containers are hidden from view but very accessible to the
massive amount of muggles visiting the zoo. Both containers are on
well-worn paths. So take a look around you before trying to
retrieve the film cannisters to make sure no one is looking at you,
and possibly wait a minute or two if they are looking your way.
That might help make sure that the caches remain in place for a
while longer. Other than that, have FUN and let’s go
GEOCACHING!
P.S. A couple of well respected cachers just posted some
very good hints. Since their logs will eventually disappear from
the most recent logs part of the screen, I thought I might add what
they have to say here on the cache page:
From Mean Gene:
The place was mobbed and we made this one harder than we should
given that it was in the obvious spot. I wonder what the mugglers
thought we were doing while we sere searching the non-obvious
spots. Just tie your shoes and reach for it.
From Roelsch:
After all that searching behind the log proved fruitless, Mean Gene
found the cache in a spot that is easily accessible from the
walkway while raising a minimum of suspicion -- like he says in his
log.
