Geocache Description:

Welcome to the School of Common Urban Micros!

This is one cache in the School of Common Urban Micros series. Make sure to write down the hint after finding the cache.

This course introduces the nano container. Nano caches are very small, with only enough room for a logbook. They are also magnetic, which can make them easy to hide, and in the right setting, difficult to find. These types of nanocaches are sometimes called "blinkies", due to their origin. They are actually sold and marketed as flashing magnetic jewelery. Cachers spraypaint this jewelry, take out the batteries, and replace them with tiny, rolled-up logbooks (if you look closely inside the containers, you can see the electric contacts for the batteries).

Below are a couple of images showing the shape and size of these nano containers - taken of the very first nano cache that we found.
