Geocache Description:

An easy cache, with a twist!

Cache is not at the posted coordinates! Posted coordinates are for parking only.

This should be an easy find, but you cannot log a find on the cache page without following the additional logging requirements. Failure to do do WILL result in deletion of your find with no warning or explanation. Actually the explanation is here: You didn't follow instructions!

This cache was inspired by both You want me to do what? and the locationless Scavenger Hunt Cache. I had fun logging the locationless and watching the logs, so I thought I'd reproduce it here (as others have across the country) in mystery form.

To receive credit for a find, you must do all of the following:

  • Sign the logbook.
  • Perform the current task which was assigned by the previous finder. Confirmation of the task must be in your log.
  • Assign a new task. Please post this with your found log.
Failure to do all of the above will result in an immediate deletion of your log!

What is a task? It can be anything you want the next finder to do, within reason. Examples of the additional logging requirements could be

  • take a photo of yourself dressed as a pirate
  • stop a passerby and have them pose with your GPS for a picture
  • post your find as a haiku
  • look for an idea in the two above listed caches
  • ... it's up to you!

The task can be performed at the cache site (take a picture of yourself dressed as a pirate at the cache site), or elsewhere (take a picture of yourself shaking hands with a Wal*Mart greeter who is holding your GPS.)

Tasks must be verifiable by posting a photo of yourself performing the task (if required), or following the logging requirements set by the previous finder.

Because the task will be constantly changing, I will allow multiple finders to perform the same task as long as their "found it" (or "note it" if you're so inclined) logs are posted within 12 hours of the first finder. If you post a find after that, your log will be deleted. The first person to complete the logging requirements on line will get to set the next task.

I reserve the right to request a new task, or assign a new task, if the current task is not reasonable or appropriate. For example, a task requesting a picture of yourself shaking hands with Donald Trump most likely would be rejected as would any task that isn't family friendly.

The cache coordinates are located as an additional waypoint of this cache. They are not at the posted coordinates so people don't log a find on the physical cache and claim they didn't know about the additional logging requirements.

Please make sure you return the cache to a position where it will stay put.

Please see my posted note for details of the first task!
