This is a micro cache in a large package. The cache is large enough
for very small trade items. It could be difficult to get into
during the 11 months of Wyoming Winter. I would try to do this one
sometime in the Summer month. When I placed the cache the snow was
up to my waist. The cache does contain lead weights for ballast so
please do not chew on it.
This is a silicon-based life form. THEY BITE! Silicone life is the
most abundant form of life on Earth yet they are seldom noticed.
This is because they move so incredibly slow that it would take
hundreds of thousands of years for them to actually bite you. First
discovered in 1891 by German astrophysicist Julius Scheiner, the
silicone life is very similar to carbon based life in that both
elements form long chains, or polymers, in which they alternate
with oxygen. In the simplest case, carbon-oxygen chains yield
polyacetal, a plastic used in synthetic fibers, while from a
backbone of alternating atoms of silicon and oxygen come polymeric
silicones. All silicon-based life is protected by the NDFTPOFA.
After reading wy82331's notes I realized I hadn't mentioned the
Snow Snakes. This area is crawling with Snow Snakes in the Winter
so I wouldn't advise searching for this cache in the Winter. Snow
Snakes have a painfull bite and have been known to devoure small
children and pets whole. If you must search during the Winter
months Be Forwarned!
