Geocache Description:


This cache was part of a series of "poker card hands" that Team Peepz had placed in the area in 2007.  
This is the last cache of that series and is now a "standalone" without any others for that poker-hand series
 
January 2016 update: i've updated the description to offer something informational based on the name of the cache. :)

Royal flush, is a poker hand made up of the five top honors of a suit.

A flush is a poker hand such as Q♣ 10♣ 7♣ 6♣ 4♣, where all five cards are of the same suit, but not in sequence. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest-ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner. If both hands have the same highest card, then the second highest-ranking card is compared, and so on until a difference is found. If the two flushes contain the same five ranks of cards, they are tied and split the pot, that is, suits are not used to rank them.
 
Flushes are described by their highest card, as in "queen-high flush" to describe Q♦ 9♦ 7♦ 4♦ 3♦. If the rank of the second card is important, it can also be included: K♠ 10♠ 5♠ 3♠ 2♠ is a "king-ten-high flush" or just a "king-ten flush", while K♥ Q♥ 9♥ 5♥ 4♥ is a "king-queen-high flush". In community card games the highest card in the flush may be a community card which is used by multiple players, in which case the flush may be described by the highest non-communal card; in a game with community cards A♣ 10♣ 6♣ 2♣, a player holding Q♣ J♦ would have a "queen-high flush" while a player with K♣ 10♠ holds a "king-high flush"; both players making use of the high ace.
 
In five-card poker, there are 5,148 possible flushes, of which 40 are also straight flushes;
 
 

"Royal Flush" is also the first episode from the TV show,

"The Monkees" that aired on September 12, 1966

 
The episode synopsis is as follows:
The Monkees rescue Princess Bettina, Duchess of Harmonica (Katherine Walsh) from her evil uncle Archduke Otto (Theodore Marcuse).

 


Smaller "small" camouflaged cache container, with mainly room for the log.  

Wooded area near businesses (who know about the cache).

There is more than one possible entrance to the cache.

Muggles abound - please be stealthy.

You probably DON'T want to park right at the coords to be discrete.
