Geocache Description:


A courier just delivered a handwritten message to your door. It reads:

My dear friend and intrepid traveler,

After much planning, I have prepared a new and exciting challenge for you. Called Around the World in 80 Caches!, it requires patience, ingenuity, and the ability to handle the unexpected. In this journey, you will be venturing into several countries, 80 in all, in search of concealed artifacts. The countries will lead you to continents, and the continents will lead you to the ultimate prize, hereafter known as "The World." Based on your experience and past adventures, I am confident you will succeed. As always, travel safe and be sure to document your findings. I look forward to hearing all about your grand expedition.

Your great admirer,

Jules Verne

You are seeking a round can, slightly larger than a tennis ball tube. It has some swag inside and can hold smaller TB's and geocoins. You wont find this cache on the freeway but it is on the ground. UPDATE: 8/18/2010 you are seeking a small tube, not in a bush or on the ground
