STEALTH TRAINING EXERCISE Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoMimi55: It looks like the homeless shelter is going to remain a problem with people hanging out at all hours here.[:(] I am archiving since relocating my cache would require more "stealth" than what my caching friends are up for. But it was fun while it lasted! TTFN! [;)]

Geocache Description:


C’mon, you KNOW you have fantasized about becoming a Spy or Super Sleuth Detective! This cache is your opportunity to prove you have what it takes! Obviously, to holler out: “WOO-HOO! GOT IT!!!” then making a dive for the cache followed by the Happy Bunny Dance will invite suspicion and disqualify you for any hope of your dream career.

MISSION INTRODUCTION:
This is a highly classified mission where you will engage in a standard LRSR (Locate, Retrieve, Sign & Replace) project. This Mission, should you decide to accept, is to be completed without being seen by Muggles both in the area or through the windows of surrounding buildings.

RISKS:
Your reputation, the Cache container and this Training Exercise is always at risk! If you are approached by anyone DO NOT GIVE OUT INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS MISSION! You may lie to them, pretend you’re deaf, don’t speak english etc. unless they’re wearing a gun or Police Uniform of course. (If you ARE approached by one of Kelso’s finest, PLEASE BE POLITE and leave if asked to, so we won’t be forced to archive.)

RULES:
LRSR the cache as described above. When signing your name on the log, be sure include the DATE & TIME. Go to Geocaching.com to log your visit as usual, but START your log with your NEW STATUS TITLE as shown below!

STATUS RATINGS:

Monday-Friday: Lunch hour 12 to 1:30 PM: AGENT 007

Monday-Friday 8:00 – 11:59 AM and 1:31 – 5:15 PM: SPECIAL AGENT

Monday-Friday 5:16 – 9 PM: FIELD AGENT

Monday-Friday 9:01 PM – 7:44 AM and Weekends & Holidays after dark: ROOKIE

STATUS DEFINITIONS:
AGENT 007: Smooth operator! You thrive on taking risks and can LRSR caches without attracting attention. . Movies are written about people like you!
SPECIAL AGENT: You’re good but not crazy, you have a few tricks up your sleeves but avoid taking huge risks if you don’t have to. You’re the smart one!
FIELD AGENT: You complete a task reasonably well and show potential, but still need practice in stealth.
ROOKIE: Somewhat awkward in your methods. You would do better to play it totally safe by doing this one after dark. Just keep your search lights low to avoid attracting the unwanted attention of Security Muggles.
COWBOY: No matter what time or day, cache is compromised whether due to your lack of discretion or Mission Euphoria. You’re still wet behind the ears. Or maybe in a moment of flambouyant excitement you spilled intel to nearby Muggles thinking they would understand and become your new friend. NOTE: MUGGLES ARE NOT PUPPIES! However, we know you mean well!

NOTE 1: Log sheet is small. You may abbreviate your name but make sure you note DATE & TIME. BYOP and please DO NOT JAM CACHE back into position. Thanks!

NOTE 2: Lack of a Status Title on your log indicates you’re one of those “It’s all about the #’s Cachers” and usually miss out on all the fun! Poor, poor Cacher

CONGRATULATIONS to Special Agents bush596 and river85 on FTF! A job well done, boys!
