Surprise! II - The Rip-Off Traditional Cache
supergeofish: Yep, checked on it myself afore the rains set in today and after TH #2's soccer game. Those lousy canyon keepers got it during their most recent clean-up, most likely [;)]. Haven't they learned about caching yet [:O][?] Since I only have about 10% of what's needed to replace this one I'm going to let it go. Thanks to all who followed my protocol on this one!

Cache is in full camo a little over .2 mile from parking/trailhead. Trail is wide and level along a serene canal. Last 20 feet down is steep! Tree cover will mess with coords, but it's an obvious geohide.
Like the first Surprise! (GC10J36), do not give away the secret in your log, not even in an encryption. Logs that reveal the surprise will be deleted.
This one may take you a while, or it may be very quick.
It's called Surprise! II - The Rip-Off because when I placed the first Surprise!, it was an original idea of mine, combining past experiences I've had. It's obvious from logs and conversations that there are similar ones out there, but I haven't seen any others yet!
The idea for this one was not mine. I was talking with retiredprof at a recent CITO, and he told me of a cache he'd found in New Mexico that sounded hilarious. A few weeks later I came upon the needed materials, and... the rip off was born here in California. ( I have since found a similar hide in the valley)
Congrats to h_mtreasurecache for FTF!
