Jack of Hearts (JH) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoMeeples: I no longer have the time or money to keep up my caches when there is someone obviously attacking my caches. I hope the people who got to experience my series enjoyed themselves. Almost 5000 hits in 5 months and people traveling from out of the area/state to visit my caches was sweet.

Death of my caches:

Stage 1: I have removed all caches that could hold TBs/GCs,swag, or that I invested money in filling or creating.

Stage 2: I left all other caches but will no longer replace them when they get taken. Feel free to go after the remaining caches just make sure you stay up to date with which ones are missing.

Geocache Description:

This card is part of my 54 Cache Pickup Series and is needed to play Hearts(GC1F439), Slap Jack(GC1F4BE), and Poker(GC1F48Y). This is pretty much a "Cache & Dash". Please be safe and stealthy. BYOP.

Story:
I just received an email from my future self, my very near future self. Appearently, I was trying to build a nuclear powered card shuffler and I accidently blew up the Earth. Now the problem is I have some friends coming over to play card games and I need those cards. Luckily I have access to alien technology that is capable of tracking the chronoton particles on the cards and I have the coordinates of the cards' locations.

Series Statistics:
There are 61 total pieces (54 micros, 4 medium, 3 small) spread across Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severn, Gambrills, Millersville, Odenton, Hanover, and Crofton. I spent over $125 to build and fill the caches and used 2.4 tanks of gas. It took 20 days to create this series from conception to activation. All pieces are within a 7 mile radius of my "Ice Scream" cache. There is nothing unique with any of my cache containers, the creativity is in the concept.

Why?:
1. Cachers really seemed to enjoy my "Interrogation Series" so I figured why not quadruple the concept. I am hoping that for the first week or so, cachers will run into each other and use the opportunity to socialize.
2. With all 61 pieces being released at the same time, I wanted to offer plenty of FTF opportunities. I also wanted to create a cache that on average will take 2-3 days to collect all 61 pieces.
3. Now I am famous. I am not 100% sure that this is the largest series in the state, country, or world. I am sure this is the largest series in Northern Anne Arundel County.

Special Thanks to:
Jackster68's better half, CBSN, and kctysor for suggesting locations to hide the last 18 micros. Who would have guessed it could be so difficult to find 54 acceptable locations to hide a micro? Also thanks to Quiggle for approving 94% of my caches the first time submitted.
