Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the indicated location but it is within a couple of miles.

A couple of years back someone asked the title question in the GBA forums. I actually had the same dilemma when I constructed my first caches. I wanted to reply to the forum thread, but then I decided I'd rather do a puzzle cache. And then things intervened and I never replied nor did the cache. Anyway here, belatedly, is the puzzle cache.

PVC
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Polyvinyl Chloride
Polychloroethene
Nylon
Polypropylene plus Low Density Polyethylene
HIPS plus (usually) Those Grocery Bags Now Banned in San Francisco

Polyethylene Terephthalate
HDPE
High Density Polyethylene
Most Soda Bottles These Days
LDPE times Most Milk Jugs These Days plus PETE
High Density Polyethene
Tyvek
Medium High Density Polywana Krakerene

The cache is an in-theme object covered in cammo tape. Think "child-proof cap" when you try to open it. FTF prize is a Susan B. Anthony. Note that this is a small cache not a micro. Also note that if you aren't positive you are in the right place, you're in the wrong place.

Feel free to brute force this one. Also make sure you drop into the establishment. It's a fascinating place to browse.

This is my 24th cache--an easy quickie as I prepare my 25th!
