Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to celebrate the capture of fugitive TB11XJX by the
BOGART (Barely Organized Geocacher And Rambunctious Terrestrial) Team.

The Hunt
The hunt started back in 2006 when the Mutant was first spotted in the Westford area. It was a slippery critter despite its fur. Many a times I arrived at a location where it had been, only to find it had slipped past in the bag or pocket of another geocacher. And sometimes I think it was toying with me by going to caches not long after I had been there.

In January I thought I would have him for sure when Every Mutant Has His Day was released. I thought for sure the Mutant would make an appearance. I was there that morning but there was no trace of him. Turned out the Mutant was just up the road at another cache.

Finally we decided to go all out and take the Mutant at any cost. After around-the-clock surveillance of several known hangouts, we got a hot tip about the Mutant's location. Bogart the Bloodhound and I loaded up the gear in the Mutant Urban Tactical Assault Noninvasive Transport (MUTANT) vehicle and headed out to try to capture the Mutant.

The Capture
The tipster told us the Mutant was spoted at Other Side of the River Cache. As we approached the area we found quick parking at N42° 39.315 W71 15.300 for the MUTANT vehicle. We grabbed our GARMIN (Ground Assault Retractable Mutant-Inside Notifyer) units and headed out to find the Mutant. When we approached the suspected area we grabbed our PENS (Potential Enemy Neutralizer/Snatcher) so we could quickly SIGN (Seek-Identify-Grab-Neutralize) the CACHE (Currently Autonomous Chased/Hunted Evader) LOG (Laughing Over Geocaching) before the Mutant knew what hit him.

The Celebration
To celebrate the end of the hunt we have placed a quick cache not far from where we parked the MUTANT vehicle. Just as the Mutant is hard to spot because of camouflage, so might this cache be so look carefully.

Good luck and good geocaching,
