You are looking for a camo flower pot.
There is not much mystery about this one. However, because of the logging requirements I have placed on it, it has to be listed as a mystery cache. There is no puzzle to solve, just go find it and log as indicated below.
A cache owner decides to set out a cache. You think of a place and the kind of cache you wish to place. You spend a fair amount of time looking for the right place, or looking for the right container to place at a site. You take the time to fill out the online form and wait for it to be published. After all these hours of work and money it takes to stock a cache, it finally gets published. Someone finds it and their log is: tftc. No details of the hunt. No real appreciation for the effort the owner put into providing the cacher with an opportunity for making a find. Just: tftc. Or, you get eight emails saying that eight of your caches were found today and every log says: Found on a lunch time cache run with ______. Or 45 emails from three different cachers who cached as a group and each found 15 of your caches, and all 45 say: Found on an all day cache run with ______ and _______.
Well, this cache is just for you. In order to get credit for this cache I respectfully request that you:
1. find the cache and sign the log.
2. log your find as: tftc
3. If you do not find the cache, please log the following: dnf
4. If you are first to find, you may log as follows: ftf - tftc
5. DO NOT POST A NOTE OF ANY KIND ON THE WEB PAGE. IF YOU FEEL OBLIGATED TO SAY SOMETHING, SEND ME AN EMAIL.
I will not be giving any hints on this one. I will not give you hints or confirm your suspicions via email. If you think this is too mean spirited, you may want to pass on this one all together.
I am a bit concerned about tree cover and the accuracy of gps readings at the site, so I will give you the following information. I placed a moss covered rock next to a very small bush at a point near where I took the coordinates. It is literally the only rock in the area. My gps readings never got below 20 feet accuracy, so you should begin at the rock and know that you are no more than 15-20 feet from the cache. Maybe this will cut down your search area due to bad satellite reception. If you disturb anything, I mean anything, during your search, please replace it exactly as you found it.
Please respect the area. If you have looked for my caches before, you know that I do not hide things in such a way that anything has to be disturbed, taken apart, or damaged in the process of finding and retrieving the cache. Please take note of the cache container when found, AND REPLACE IT EXACTLY AS FOUND. Don't try to hide it better or harder. Don't leave it in a condition that will cause the log to be damaged by the elements. Don't put it in a different location. PLEASE LEAVE IT EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT.
I respectfully request that finders of the cache do not share any information about the cache with those who have not found it. I know this is only a request and has no binding power, but I hope you will respect it.
The cache is best approached if you travel south on Hwy 82 (McFarland Blvd) and take the exit for Jack Warner Parkway (River Road to the locals). Park near the entrance on the East end of the cemetery at the end of the exit road and walk to the coordinates. You do not have to walk amongst any of the grave sites to reach the cache. If you choose to park along the side of the road closer to the cache (this CAN be done safely) add about 2 points to the terrain rating due to a steep and probably slippery hill you will have to climb. You may also have to fight your way through vines, briers, and bushes if you choose this route.
