An extreme Multi-Cache challenges geocachers to go to their physical limits. The caches are often best enjoyed with an experienced group of geocaching friends. Each location of a Multi-Cache leads to the next, often involving a puzzle of sorts, until you discover the final, physical container.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Jonathan Burns\u2019 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/profile\/?guid=eb8b1d22-0d1b-489d-9aae-cefcf0310b3f\">lefalaf<\/a>) and Thomas Solly\u2019s (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/profile\/?guid=7bc0b038-efef-4a92-a4f3-186644a6b2a8\">weatherguy726<\/a>) Extreme Multi-Cache <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/seek\/cache_details.aspx?guid=ec782ddb-5973-4092-be9e-194c4eb7d870\">An Extreme Tour of Centralia!<\/a>, much more than a sense of adventure is required.
