Cache is in a park in Cozad, NE. Very short walk.

Ha!!  You thought all parks in Cozad were cached, didn’t you?  This isn’t really much of a park, but it serves my purpose here quite well.

 

You guys think you’re so smart!!  Finding all of my “Hard to find” caches, and putting out hides that are invisible!!

 

So, I want to find out how good all of you really are.  I have made a test with this cache that is variable difficulty.  You will grade yourself on the honor system:

 

5 points – Don’t read past the dotted line below.  And don’t use the hint!

4 – Read past the dotted line, but don’t use the hint.

3 – Read everything, but don’t go any further.

2 – Read everything, and follow the instructions in the hint.

1 – Read everything, and get more hints from the instructions.

 

 

When you log your find, tell me your score!!  Those of you who will be far from a computer will have to decide whether to handicap yourself going in, or make the find easy, but get a lower score.  Those who live nearby can easily zip home for more info, or just lie about how good you are!!

 

This is a bigger cache than my Nano’s, and even has a pencil!  If it looks like it will last a while, I might use this as a coin drop.  Log sheet is bigger, too, and has special recognition for the FTF.  (I wonder who that will be!)

 

So, here’s that dotted line.  Stop here if you want five points!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

The listed coordinates are not for the cache, they’re for a picnic table here.  You can sit here and watch the trains and trucks go by…..Oh, yeah, the cache!!  It’s 30-40 feet from this location.  Is that enough information?  If not, check the hint, but you can’t claim four points!

Found it pretty easy after we sat @ the picnic table for a while and just thought about where we thought it should be based on the information provided. Scored 5 points to boot ... lmfao yea right ... more like a big fat 0 but a find is a find!

Cache was in the right spot, but was very hard to find! Made an adjustment that should help with that. Also put in some "Rite in the Rain" paper.

Didn't read about it until last minute. Guess we will have to do more work before we have a chance to find it. Thanks for all your Cozad caches. We did enjoy the stay in your town.
