Welcome to Lucky 13! When the theme of this cache first occurred to
me I hoped it might be pretty original; then reality struck as I
found many others all over the world who have approached this
subject in their own way. So, here’s my version.
Phobias are persistent, irrational fears of certain objects or
situations. Phobias occur in several forms; the fear associated
with a phobia can focus on a particular object (specific phobia) or
be a fear of embarrassment in a public setting (social phobia).
People who have phobias are often so overwhelmed by their anxiety
that they avoid the feared objects or situations. Specific phobias
involve a fear of an object or situation, such as small animals,
snakes, closed-in spaces, or flying in an airplane. Social phobia
is the fear of being humiliated in a social setting, such as when
meeting new people, giving a speech, or talking to the boss. Most
people experience these fears with mild to moderate intensity, and
the fear passes. For people with social phobia, however, the fear
is extremely intrusive and can disrupt normal life, interfering
with work or social relationships in varying degrees of
severity.
THE
CACHE
This is a Three Part Mystery Multi. Two of the three stages are
larger-than-micro containers and I’ve tried to make each stage
somewhat interesting and not just a random location for the next
set of coordinates. In my attempt to make these locations
interesting, all three waypoints can only be accessed during
operating hours. These hours are:
Part One - Daily from sunrise to sunset
Part Two - Special Summer Hours: Mon-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun
11am-6pm / Standard Hours: Mon-Sat 9am-4:30pm, Sun 11am-4:30pm.
There is a $5.00 fee for entrance; though it is Free to the public
on Wednesday from 12:00pm-6:00pm
Part Three - Tue-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 12-5pm (Closed Mondays
& Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve & Day, New
Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Easter Sunday & Memorial
Day)
Permission has been granted for these stages.
The trail ends with a small camo'ed Lock&Lock. You don't
have to trample any landscape to access it. It contains a log book
and some trade items.
To find the actual beginning coordinates you must answer the
questions below and plug them in appropriately.
