Geocache Description:

Have you ever hidden a cache and gone back to find it only to see that it moved?
The coords provided are near parking. You will not find the cache there.

Change Happens They Keep Moving The Cache
For those of you with a lot of cache hides, over time you will realize that your cache is not always where you left it.  While we have a number of good intentioned cachers who try very hard to put the cache back where they found it, the cache sometimes walks a little bit in the process.

Anticipate Change
Get Ready For The Cache To Move
When going for a search of ones own cache, the cache owner sometimes needs to be prepared for the cache to be out of place or in a new location.  This could be because as the cache finder scurries out to find the cache, they forgot where the cache was pulled from.  Cache finders also sniff out a new spot or if they just move the cache a foot or two, there is a better hiding spot.  Sometimes when searching for a cache in a giant stump, they break the caches cammo/stump and must move the cache for its own protection!

Monitor Change

Check The Cache Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old So as a cache hider, don’t hem and haw about where your cache may move, check on them often to see where they are migrating to and keep yourself up-to-date on their progress.
 
Adapt To Change Quickly
The Quicker You Let Go Of An Old Cache location, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cache Location So when you visit the cache for updates and maintenance... low & behold it is not where you left it, adapt quickly and start looking in the surrounding areas. 
 
Change
Move With The Cache
Sometimes you need to move with the cache and sometimes the cache needs to move with you.  Change can be a good thing.

Enjoy Change!
Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of New Cache!
So no whining and crying about the coords not being dead on... (how many are really??).  Savor the challenge and adventure of finding the cache without using the phone a friend or cachers trail to get to it.

Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again & Again
They Keep Moving The Cheese.
So your challenge (if you choose to accept it) is to help move the cheese.  In order to find this cache, you MUST find the cheese.  The Tricky part is, you will need to locate the cheese (TB1KWXK) with the coords to the cache on them. I have made 6 copies of a geocoin that have the coords on them for the cache. The coins will be released into the wild over time.   Since they will have the same coin number on them, you may have the coin in your account one second and someone else may grab it and put it in a cache the next second.

OTHER RULES:
Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again & Again:  Feel free to discover the cheese and move it in New Hampshire from cache to cache.

In moving the cheese, do not worry if you no longer show it in your account and cannot officially drop it in the cache.
