This cache is going to require a specific TOTT to retrieve.
Unless you are in the habit of carrying a wide array of TOTT's with
you, the cache may be unobtainable. Study the description to try
figure out which TOTT this cache will require. I won't leave vague
hints for something that requires anything not readily available.
There's usually more than one way to skin a cat; some work
better than others. If you have time and inclination, I would be
interested in an e-mail about the TOTT you used for this
cache.
In Geocaching, 'Tools of the Trade' (TOTT) are any of the MANY
devices that might be used to help find/retrieve/log a geocache.
Below is a list that is NOT all inclusive, that you should consult,
along with the cache description.
Borrowing ideas from other geocachers is a great way to bring
something new back to our area. This is my first TOTT cache and I
hope to come up with more to make it a series. It's no stretch of
the imagination to figure out that some of my geocaching friends
are going to complain about this one. They seem to think some of my
puzzle ideas are over their heads anyway, so this should be a lot
of fun! It was a beautiful day today and I decided I had to get
some caches out. I wandered around town looking for the best spot
for a couple of cache placements, and here we are.
