Mongo: ###ARCHIVING CACHE###


No response from cache owner.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed, and it is time to have it listed once again it will be no problem as long as it still meets the guidelines. Just drop me a note (by email at reviewer.mongo@gmail.com) and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Mongo

Geocache Description:

Hopefully, the first of a new series. "Tools of the Trade" relates to tools geocachers may need to locate or secure a cache. See more below . . .
Read the description BEFORE you go look for the cache!!!

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.
