Geocache Description:


MacGyver was a TV show in the mid 1980's filmed several seasons in B.C. (In the episode "Thin Ice" you can spot this CO for precisely 2 seconds waving to the camera!).

MacGyver was a resourceful handyman hero who could solve any problem or get out of any trap just by using his trusty pocket knife or whatever was in his pockets at the time, (usually paper clips and bubblegum foil).

In fact in one particular episode MacGyver was trapped inside a waste disposal chamber with a timelock. He had only minutes to escape before the room filled with radioactive material. MacGyver kept his cool and checked his pockets for a way out.

For this cache I need your help in building my own MacGyver certified heat seeking cruise missile! There are 20 items I need in order to build it. Each visitor should bring an item and mention it in their log. It is purely optional but the last person to complete the list will get a prize! It's kind of like a FTF intended for the 20th person! (??)
