This is a cache, in the barest sense of the word. There's really
nothing to it. Just a log. Nothing special. Just a plain old micro.
Nothing special about it at all. Not a thing. It's barely
placeable.
I'm even going to tell you where it is! Imagine that. It's on a
guardrail. Huh. No decryption necessary. We're cutting out the
middle man! That way, you old schoolers can't even justify it by
saying you decrypted it by hand.
So, what you should get from all that. I swear this is not a
lie, or a deception, or anything else. It's a gimme. Let's try
this, once more for effect, just so we're clear -
IT'S ON THE
GUARDRAIL!!!
Now, I'm not going to tell you not to log this cache. I'm not
going to "dare" you into ignoring it, or proving your worth by not
coming after it. But I am going to place it. It is after all, a
smiley. But honestly, there's a whole forest preserve a mere 3
blocks away which offers much more suitable caches. They probably
carried gunpowder at one time. They probably even have McDonalds
toys in them!
Not this one. No gun powder. No toys. Just a log. Not even a log
really. Just lines on a piece of paper. That's it. Completely
unremarkable.
So come get it! You know you want to.
