Geezers' Phoenix Canariensis Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CondoMax: I've had my fun with this one. So did Fay and all the rains we've had since her. As if that isn't enough, the SR-434 widening project will shortly rearrange this intersection. Accordingly, I arrived at the weighty decision to pull the plug on this one. Farewell, my friend.

Geocache Description:

If you can't fight 'em, join 'em! (So say the curmudgeonly GeoGeezers.)


Yeah, we don't like micros. Nanos get on our aging nerves. And as for picos--ahh, forget it! That said, we had to create a micro of our own, just so we would be able to get the big thrill of this type of hide out of our system!

OK, folks. Without further ado, here is the first--and probably the last--Geezer micro. While not exactly a "park and grab," it is close. The hide is near a busy corner, where the presence of muggles is fleeting but thoroughly annoying. In this neighborhood, they're just in a hurry to get around the corner. Nobody hangs around for too long a time--just until the light turns green.

Lots of experienced cachers have commented on the difficulty of this hide. Some have even described it as evil. Accordingly, we've raised the difficulty rating to four-stars and we've even included a picture of the container in this listing. And last but not least, the hint just totally gives away the location. What more could you ask?

Container is a bomb-shaped, green, anodized aluminum cylinder (see picture!), larger than the typical nano, but smaller than a 35mm film can. My arthritic geezer fingers couldn't whittle a pencil down small enough, so bring your own doggone pen, you young whippersnappers! You'll want to grab this one before it becomes extinct!

Good luck and happy caching!
