Geocache Description:

Also known as Freakin' Donuts!

 

 Most people claim they love ammo cans hidden in the woods. They say that they are easier to find and there is lots of room for trade items that stay very well protected and it's a very traditional thing to do. In addition, they usually bring us to great out-of-the-way spots with no one to spy on us (unless the crew is lurking). Hey, I don't disagree, they always warm the cockles of my heart when we find them, but sometimes they can be very well hidden and difficult to find. And they can't be easily hidden in high traffic urban areas without raising serious alarm to the general public.

Then there are people who love the quick urban cache and dash type hides. They enjoy the thrill of the muggle situation and to be able to test their stealthy skills. These hides also offer an alternative to not being able to get away for a long arduous hike in the woods or when the extremes of the weather inhibit it. Who dosen't like to be able to hop right back into the geomobile that still has the A/C cranked on a tropical day or night? Or who don't want to prepare to go on an Iditarod or regretfully forget to bring the crucial item with you that would have made the difference between living or freezing to death. But, on the flip side, they can be a bit redundant and boring, but it's fun to 'get our numbers up' with them.

And still yet, there is another school of thought, bringing the best of both worlds into one - the dreaded 'micro-in the-woods'. It would seem, people either love them or they hate them. I guess that would depend on how you percieve them. But, I think, it depends more on whether you've found it or not at the time. I certainly get a kick out of the cachers that claim they hate them, and yet, still go find them AND place them. Multicache or not, it's still a micro-in-the-woods. Granted, they definitely require some savy and a different set of geo-skills, but they can be placed tactfully with some geo-sensibillities.

We just happen to LOVE and appreciate them all!

All in all though, we are very glad that there is a this varying spectrum of different cache characteristics. They all offer unique sets of challenges that require newer and more interesting sets of skills. If there was only one approved recipe for a cache, wouldn't that be a bit boring afterall? I'm always very impressed at peoples creative innovations. It's always quite fascinating to witness the ever changing and evolving nature of this sport. This cache is no exception.

So, what are you looking for? Go figure it out!

Well, here you go, Sunrayers. Your request has been granted. less bugs, less brush and there is a cooler nearby with iced cold drinks within. Even though we are not the biggest fans of Dunkin' Donuts, we are of this spot, so there is a large iced Timmy for the FTF prize. Not much room for tradables inside, you'll see why, but yet it still contains a bunch of trinkets for the little ones and some TB's for the big ones. These coords have been checked and double, triple, and quadruple checked.
 

So, good luck, have fun and happy caching!
