This cache is an easy to find grab located near the Byrd Biotechnology Center at Marshall University. The cache is in an obvious hide, but actually getting the container that may take some patience. Also, FTF gets a shiny new Shewey Science Academy Geocoin that's never been moved before!
This cache is a small 50mL bottle used for storing solutions. It is clear with an orange cap. Its contents include:
Log book
Accidental Finder Note
Shewey Science Academy Geocoin (never been moved)
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tubes- the staple of biotechnology research and the handiest little things for carrying around tiny valuables (they clip right on to your keychain or lanyard)
*BYOP
This is my first cache, and hopefully the first in a series of caches that require that little something extra to get to. They are intended to bring out the McGiver in everyone. This cache is completely handicap accessible and in an obvious hide (and indeed a seated posture may be necessary to access it) but be prepared for this one, it may require some finesse. For the sake of those who may not have the right tool for the job I've left one nearby. If your walking in circles over this one though, you may be on the right track. Also, make sure to bring your number 2 pencil, kids, you will need it. Use stealth as well, though this area is usually muggle free.
After your find, make sure to decode the second part of the hints sections for instructions on replacement.
