Don't let the cat out of the bag Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

WI.Hibiscus: Two months shy of the tenth birthday of this cache. I was in the area and decided to pick up the container. This used to be walking distance from my house. Then I moved a few miles away. This cache lasted a long time with not much maintenance required, but now I'm moving almost 2 hours north and there is only so much I can maintain from that distance.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located near a retention pond in a residential area off Manitowoc Road. Parking is available on a nearby street.

Let the cat out of the bag: Give away a secret.

This mid-1700’s expression alludes to the dishonest practice of a merchant substituting a worthless cat for a valuable pig, which is discovered only when the buyer gets home and opens the bag.

This cache is available year round. Please use stealth when searching. Be sure that you don’t leave tracks in snow that lead only to the cache. Make a few “decoy trails” so you don’t let the cat out of the bag.

Please re-hide the container the same way you found it. Bring your own pen.

Congratulations to RJ McKenzie fka ToyotaRyan for the FTF.
