Do I Feel Lucky? Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Tchingal: I cannot see any information that indicates the CO has taken steps to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement.

Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

This is explained in the Help Center article here.

Geocache Description:


Well, do ya Punk?

 

An often misquoted line delivered by my favourite movie character Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry. The full quote is:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

The cache has nothing to do with the movie, but is all about feeling lucky. During Mad May, Zytheran placed many scratchies into caches as FTF prizes, and many other cachers often place scratchies as a FTF prize too. However, nobody has ever scored big on them, which leads me to the conclusion that Geocachers are an unlucky group (otherwise we’d never have to post a DNF).

The posted coordinates will take you to an electrical box on a pole in the middle of the Port Canal Park. The cache isn’t located here, but is only a few metres away. There are four obvious spots where a magnetic keyholder can be hidden, and it is in one of them. If you are lucky you’ll find it in the first one you pick. If you are really unlucky you’ll take more that four as you’ll miss it on the first pass and move onto another spot.

This cache also serves as a survey. Please indicate how many spots you had to check before you came up with the cache. If in a group, plan your order first, so you can indicate how many spots you would’ve checked before finding the cache.

The cache contains a log and pencil, and a gold coin. The gold coin is for the first finder who finds it in the first spot they checked. Please take the coin and buy a scratchie as you are obviously a lucky person. I would’ve normally placed the scratchie in the cache, but didn’t want to jinx it, by purchasing it.

Feel free to move the cache to one of the other alternate spots, but please indicate which spot you’ve moved it to by using the guide in the front of the log book. I started it off in spot #3.

Enjoy

The Calumphing_Four.

P.S If you look at the satellite picture of the park, you’ll notice that it is in the shape of a boat, or if you are paranoid it’ll resemble crop circles.
