The coordinates listed above are bogus and nowhere near the
actual cache. It is a great place, though, to chase little white
balls.
With the incredibly low temperatures of late, I think we're all
having dreams of spring days hence the name of this cache.
I will never forget my fairly brief firsthand exposure to the
Cold War. I was sixteen and went to Germany for the summer to visit
a longtime penpal. We just happened to be in East Berlin for the 25
anniversary of the wall. There was a very large military parade
through the city and we had the opportunity to hear Erich
Honecker's speech. He railed on about how the west's blood would be
spilled on the wall, how the wall protected the East Germans from
the attacks of the Americans, etc. The crowd time and again erupted
with thunderous applause and cheers. Being a stupid kid, I had worn
a bright yellow Coca-Cola rugby shirt (remember those?), so I
really stood out against the backdrop of greys and browns. Most of
the folks visibly hated the two of us although there were a couple
of kind souls that sheepishly smiled. Unfortunately they could be
arrested if they were seen talking to someone from the "West",
though, so we really didn't get to talk to anyone. I have quite a
few good stories regarding my brief stay in East Germany. If you
care, ask me sometime about being chased by the East German
polizei, their version of history, etc.
Anyhow, back to the cache....
When I tried my hand at Team Singchihuahua’s Holiday Poker Cache
(GC17MB8), I must admit I didn’t expect to win. After all there
were 17 players who had an equal shot at paydirt so my odds were
only 6%. Conversely, I had a 94% chance of not ending up in last
place. Lady Luck didn’t smile on me at all and I put together a
hand with a queen-high. As a result I was awarded the boobie prize
– a beautiful, bright-yellow and hot-pink 30 caliber ammunition
box.
In keeping with the Cold War ammo-box theme, the final cache is
located at N38 Trinadtsat.Shest'sot Shestnadtsat, W085 Dvadtsat'
Vosem'.Nol Soroksem'
As with most caches, there are multiple ways to reach the final.
The terrain rating is a composite of them. The seasons will present
different challenges to the finding of this hide.
I really don't recommend searching for this cache alone - see
the terrain rating. Also - please be aware that your feet may get
wet on this one; it depends on the season.
Please hide as you found it to lessen the chances of it being
muggled.
CONGRATULATIONS AIRRAIDFAN ON THE FTF!
