Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Update - 7/16/2016 - New Hint. Old location was washed out and is now a ditch.

Sorry folks.  I’m really behind on my caches for you guys.  I have a bunch of ideas, but I’ve just been really busy.  Something big is on the way, but for now I owe you something.  So on with the cache:

En Garde. Parry. Attack! Parry. Thrust. Hit and Point!

He probably doesn’t know about it, but there is an unspoken friendly rivalry between LLOT and PQGT.  It’s really only a thing between myself and my daughter (Trekker #2).  When we look up recent caches in our area (PQ/RB/SR, or just about anywhere) there’s LLOT’s name.  Usually just one or two ahead of us on the pecking order.  Sometimes Trekker #2 and I cheer when we beat LLOT to a cache.  And other times, it’s just like the old Seinfeld TV show when Jerry sees his old arch rival, Trekker #2 and I look at each other and say “Thayer!” with a clenched fist and a slight grimace on our faces.  But I will always tip my hat to you.  It’s like a fencing match.

Hello Newman!

Mr. LLOT was the first cacher I met out in the field, and I actually like the guy even though we only met that one time.  We started caching around the same time, but he has been getting about 4 caches to my 1.  He’s a go-to guy for help on puzzles and pointers for caches I’ve had trouble with.  Plus I like all his hobbies (no, I’m not a stocker).  And he makes up some good puzzles (a few I still have to figure out).  And to top it off, he really writes some really good ripping logs that are always fun to read.  None of this “Found it” from James.  No sir!

I know who will try to be the FTF for this cache, so let’s open up the competition and I will allow Flagman to opportunity to be first (currently on a self-imposed restraint from FTF’s from what I’ve seen, and he lives in the general area), if he thinks he can beat LLOT to the prize.  Plus there are all the others out there, Duncan!, Team Adelos, Zatyko, duganrm, Chuy!, pqcachers, Gobolts!, Miragee, rjbloom & co, BBB, and a whole bunch of others that are desperate for new caches.  James, the challenge is on!

Cache is a small cammoed Peanut Butter container with some cheap swag inside (I never know exactly what to put in these things).  There is a $10 gift card for those earlier risers like myself for FTF prize.

Hello Thayer.  En Garde.  Parry, thrust, attack!
