Quick Information

Multi-cache: This cache has an unspecified number of stages, but fewer than eight.
Containers: The containers differ between stages. Two containers are more rare, but it's nothing you haven't seen.
Hide Methods: One stage was hidden well, another in the open, all stages do not use camo tape, and all hides aren't really unique (well...).
Terrain: This is your warning. Some stages have quite interesting terrain--unique for this cache, to be sure.  Stages alternate between difficult and easy terrain.
FTF: I left an appropriate FTF prize.  You can now bring the excitement of this cache home with you (nano bison tube not included, some assembly required)!
Advisory: Thou shouldst always be equippest with thine own pointy stick with which to sign thy name.



Cache Description

For the past few Sundays, I have been scouting areas for another cache I will create, "Season's Greetings".  This particular day's scouting trip was the uncached area of the Osprey Trail (SW Lake Townsend), which has "Up Your Chimney" and "Just Point the Way".  Parking is for those same caches.  While there is a neighborhood close to the first parts of this cache, it lets out on Yanceyville Road and not North Church Street (I don't suggest taking that as a way out).

This area did not have what I was looking for, so I decided to create another cache while I was there (though I had to return many times to get everything just right).  This multi has somewhat simple hides at random points on the trail, with a new types of terrain you will need to conquer.  Speaking of the terrain, it's not as bad as it could have been.  I even added to the makeshift bridge at a muddy section, so it's not all bad.  The stages' hide difficulties range between a 1 and a 3 due to not disclosing the container type and differing from the cache's title.  However, multi-caches are best ended with a container that accepts trade items.

While this multi can be completed at night, I do not suggest doing so.  If you lose a container, please retrieve it.  Do not undo how I have rigged some stages.

As always, we have the Ranger-type log book and custom art.  I never claimed to be an artist, but I hope you have enjoyed the art and cache logos in all my log books.  Feel free to draw something if you like, as well.

All cachers caching in groups must touch each stage for it to count.  Do not shortchange yourself and others of this cache's excitement and adventure!

Do bring your own writing instrument.  Never leave home without it!


Happy Disclaimers!

This cache has a high terrain rating for good reason.  If you feel you cannot accomplish a stage, please quit.  You are under no obligation to complete this or any other cache.  When undertaking any cache, the risk is your own; you are responsible for your decisions and welfare when playing this game.  Do not do something stupid.

Do not reveal spoiling cache details or the number of stages in your log!  If so, your log will be DELETED.

Please do not give hints to others during the first month.  I'd like to see who can do this without aid.
