LAST CALL: This, and all current Flossmoor geocaches in
Florida, will be archived on or after 2-June 2009.
It is no secret that
I am not the biggest fan of "needle in a haystack" styled
geocaches. As soon as I see a pile of rocks on the horizon, I
usually turn around and walk back to the car.
Perhaps some might think of me as hypocritical for releasing a
cache such as this. For these people... well, I prefer to think of
my efforts as a tad misunderstood.
Just because I don't understand something, it doesn't
necessarily make it wrong. I'm simply trying to understand (hence,
the deployment of this cache).
Besides, this is not entirely a "needle in a haystack":
1) The "hay" is often larger in diameter than your wrist.
2) The "needle" is one of the largest ammocans manufactured.
3) The geocache is not completely obscured from sight.
A note regarding point #3: a few of our area geocachers (you
know who you are) have a habit of returning caches in ways "better"
that what was intended by the cache owner. For your efforts, this
should NOT be one of those caches. By design, it is intended to be
visible from a key angle. Simple specifics for proper replacement
of the cache are listed on the front cover of the logbook. Please
adhere to these specifics: I would very much dislike having to
penalize a cacher for upgrading (inadvertantly or not) a cache from
difficult to impossible.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Have fun.
