Cache-specific notes at the
end.
Tired of wading through ankle-deep
water? Sick of digging through rock piles and unnatural
stacks of sticks? Perhaps a month of flash-flooding has
prevented your cache stats from growing, or it's after sunset and
you just realized that your fifty day cache finding streak is in
jeopardy.
This series is for you.
None of the hides in this series have a
terrain rating higher than 1. In fact, you can retrieve each
one without ever exiting your car.* That's right -- no snakes
and few mosquitoes, though a spider or two are possible. No
fording streams, climbing trees, or bushwhacking through the
underbrush. There's no walking at all. I don't think I
can make this series any easier without bringing the logs to your
house...
While easy to access, some of these hides
are located at operational businesses. Thus, be smart about
retrieval and replacement. Find a way to access the cache
without displaying it to the high school student in the
drive-through window.
Finally, please be careful when pulling up
alongside the cache sites, and especially when backing out
again. Don't expect me to be responsible for any scratches or
dents you put on your vehicle. I've hidden all these without
damaging my car, but hey, I'm not the guy driving
yours...
#6: Stay On Target
Little Usual and I watched Episode 4 of Star Wars yesterday, and
she got a kick out of the repetitive "Stay on target..." command
during the attack on the Death Star.
We're back to magnetic containers on this one, painted to look
like the "environment." Be sure to place it back right where
I put it -- that's the most hidden spot I could find. Those
kids that collect shopping carts are really detail oriented and
careful in their work, so we must be sure to keep the container out
of their eagle-like eyes.
*I placed all of these without
exiting my Toyota Highlander. The windows in the Highlander
are a bit higher than the "average" car, a bit lower than the
"average" SUV or pick-up. Keep in mind that the Highlander
also has a sun roof. :)
