This is a quick park and grab - just to give you a message and add
to your numbers - with the added bonus of a discoverable
geocoin.
I have always liked micros and the challenge they give. That is why
jbsings2266 calls me "Mistress of Micros". I also like park and
grabs as hiking through the brush for an ammo can full of MacDonald
toys is only fun on sunny days, with friends or family and when I
only want to do a few that day. For power caching, you need more of
the drive-by micros. I do like to find some things in caches
though. Geocoins and TB's are always fun and I do regret that they
do not fit in bison tubes. (Of course, when you can barely even get
the log in, it would never work to put in anything else. ) I wanted
a container that was a bit bigger and could take a trackable. So
when I found this “Awareness Mints” tin, I knew I had the perfect
container. It is just the right size for a Geocoin or TB that is
only the tag. It is the “Be Aware” part of the cache title and a
reminder of the fight we have to get a cure for breast cancer. My
mother is a breast cancer survivor and I wanted to honor that. I
sent out a breast cancer awareness TB, but it got lost from the
first cache I put it in. The TB showed up one year later in another
area cache. The finder logged it for the first time and put it into
the next area cache – which was muggled the very next day. So my TB
is lost again. I am hoping that this message will stay out there
longer. The other thing I needed was a way to add my trademark
Grammy Duck to the cache in a permanent way. I knew that if I put
in a tattoo, bead or charm, it would be taken. So I decided to add
a picture of a duck to the cache container. The only picture I
could find was the one I had of my duck geocoin. I then thought of
a good plan. My duck geocoin is for discovery only and travels with
me to share with other cachers who are icon addicts like me. I
added a slip in my cache that has the tracking number of my ducky
geocoin so it will allow you to discover it and get the cute duck
icon. Please leave it in the cache for the next finder. The “Be
Wary” part of the title is to remind you of the need for stealth.
This cache is in the area of several many windowed offices
buildings and there are often employees taking walks around the
place. Early mornings, late afternoons and weekends may be better
times to search unless you are very sneaky. The parking will also
be easier during off-hours. There is the traditional finder’s gift,
but in keeping with the theme of the cache, it is to go to the FFF
– first female finder. It is a walking travel coin that is taped to
the outside of the container. Congratulations to bolosky on the FTF
without a GPS! and to DrTusk for the close STF.
