Attention!
The land located south of the landscaped cemetery is private property. Please do not enter that land.
The "ZH" in the cache name above signifies a Zombie Hunt, a project by the Solanum and Undead Awareness Foundation (SUAF) to distinguish those caches that are placed at or near locations where there may be an increased chance of a zombie encounter (e.g., cemeteries, brain labs, etc.).
Above all else, please be respectful of the area.
If this geocache design becomes a series, I will provide a survival tip with each hide to educate others about how to deal and cope with a zombie encounter. Following is the first tip.
Apartments:
Apartments and apartment buildings vary in size and layout and, therefore, in defensibility. ... First-floor apartments present the highest risk simply because of their accessibility. Tenants living above the ground floor are almost always safer than those in any type of house. Destroying the staircase effectively isolates the rest of the building (and prevents the ingress of zombies). With the elevator turned off and the fire escape too high for a zombie to reach (strict limits are imposed by law), any apartment house can become an instant haven from the walking dead. ... Another advantage of the apartment complex is its large population. Whereas a private homeowner may be forced to hold the residence by himself, an apartment building can be defended by all of its tenants. This also increases the chances of having multiple skilled experts such as carpenters, electricians, paramedics, and Army reservists (not always the case, but still a possibility). Of course, with additional people comes the challenge of additional social conflicts. This potential problem, however, should never be a deterrent when choosing between a house and an apartment. Given the choice, always pick the latter.
This geocache is a small container. A decon. It originally contains a modified Jeep TB.
Have fun! And if you see a zombie staggering toward you, run! Fast! Although they stagger pretty slow, they are persistent.
