Geocache Description:

This series is obviously inspired by our cats. Most of the time they are great to have around but sometimes they can be true outlaws. Especially this one.


Wanted-Preferably Alive and Well Intact

This cache is part of a series placed by the CacheMeow team (well,duo).  This cache is placed in Paint Branch Stream Valley Park, which is a M-NCPPC park in Montgomery County, MD.  The Cache Meow series is a 3 part series.  The Bad One is the final cache in the series.  For those seeking "The Bad One", you will first have to seek out one of her old haunts.  The coordinates provided should lead you to the first stage which, like our bad cat, is very adept at blending into the surrounding environment.  The container is small and plastic.  This container is hidden on a well traveled path in the park.  Be mindful of muggles when retrieving the first stage. IMPORTANT! When looking for stage 1, be careful where you stick your phalanges!

The final coordinates located in the first stage will take you along a paved trail for approx .5 miles and then you will need to wander into the bushes.  There are various animal trails you could follow and you may need to cross some fallen trees, stickers, and other assorted annoyances. The final cache is a small Lock & Lock container that has the following items (initially):

  • Path tag
  • Geocoin (What comes after 3...)
  • Logbook
  • Pencil
  • geocaching.com lanyard/compass
  • Whistle


The Bad One is a little temperamental and may be a little harder to find than either The Fat One or The Grey One.

Congratulations to tsnorth for being the FTF!
