Geocache Description:


Victor!.

How would you find a cache if there were no coordinates given? Life is pretty easy when your GPS receiver takes you to within 10 feet of the cache. This isn't one of those. You will have to find the cache based on the clues given. Come back to the cache frequently for new clues.


The clues will start pretty vague and get more specific. Anything could be helpful: Attributes, Size, Rating, Source Code, your knowledge of the CO, your knowledge of local caching lore. Ultimately, the FTF will probably be made by "Russell."

And....Surprise to no one. The FTF was made by Russell..er RenoRaiders. I would not have bet that it would be that fast. I will continue to release clues for those of you who are mere mortals.

Clues:
