Geocache Description:

Poway's Lost Button Cache

Have you ever lost a button? I have and it just plain sucks. I get tired of having to search for and hunt down and sow back on buttons that have popped off or just gone missing. So I had this theory. Have you ever heard of the Button Gnomes? Well they exist. Some call them the Button Gremlins. One day I put out this huge bag of buttons to see what would happen. Lo and Behold, late one night, I saw these little creatures sneak into the room, clamber on top of the table where the button stash was placed and before I could blink an eye the little creatures were off and scampering away with my bag of buttons. Can you help me find them? If you do happen to find them you can take a button if you feel the need because I know what it is like to loose a button and you can't find one that will match or work. So take a button if you need one ~OR~ bring a few buttons and drop em off. Who knows - someone else might need a button too.

The Lost Button Cache

Good Luck!!

PS. A Note of Warning. Open this container VERY carefully because the contents my spill and scatter and cause great - amusing - but great chaos.. The container is fairly large and but it has little space left. Place only coins and pins.

The rest of the story... Some of you are going to arrive at the GZ and find a book and open it and discover that you are not FTF. Well - in fact - you are. Here is why:

There was another Poway's Lost Button Cache... if you look on the lid and at the bottom of the cache log you will find the original code (GC1W6QX). Shortly after placing GC1W6QX I was emailed by a fellow cacher and they kindly told me that the place I had just placed my "Buttons" cache on was private property - OOPS! So I rushed out the door and went and picked up the container but not before a FTF could be claimed on it. So Tiek00n is the FTF on the original but because the names are not changing - I am leaving him as the FTF from the original. So - whoever is the FTF this time - that my story and I am sticking too... it.

Cheers. Happy Hunting and Looking forward to meeting you out there!!
