Geocache Description:

Quite possibly the easiest Mystery/Puzzle cache you'll ever hunt for, because the cache is actually at the listed coordinates, there is no brainteaser to figure out, no 3-D image to stare at until you're cross-eyed and no crazy cerebellum scratcher of a cipher to decipher. Looking for an unusal container in a common cache hiding spot. Less than 40 feet from parking to cache. High muggle area, hence the slightly higher difficulty rating.

This is the second cache I've hidden in such a way, but my first placement in such a high-traffic muggle area. When you get to Ground Zero, you'll see what I mean. However, the cache location is a bit away from the major attraction in the area but your best stealth will still be required to keep the hiding spot a secret.

When you find the cache, the best way to open the container is to twist the top in one hand while pulling down with the other hand.

The only requirement you need to fulfill after making the find is that when you post your log on here you must tell me your best "almost a DNF" story. Alternatively, you could provide me with your best story about a DNF that you later found. Either will be acceptable.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Spending almost an hour bushwhacking an acre of forest floor in search of some container that you'd need a metal detector to find, until something caught your eye and you came away with the cache in hand (mr007s). Or let's not forget the unique container that you overlooked a dozen times because you didn't think that could possibly be the cache...but lo and behold, it's really fake and contains a log inside (MrTBELL). And who can forget that one cache that brought you back 5 or 6 times and had you almost bald from pulling your hair out until you found it and walked away wondering who in their right mind would hide a cache in such a fashion (rebelyel). I'm sure you get the idea.

NOTE: Online logs that do not contain the required information will be deleted!

So be forewarned. Now warm up those brain cells, stretch out those fingers and let the reminiscing commence!
