Geocache Description:

Sometimes things just don't work out right. You try to do a nice tribute to a fellow cacher and after 2 months, mother nature sees it fit to destroy it. So in the spirit of bitterness and disappointment I bring you, the micro tribute to Sase Mc-T in it's reincarnated form....the Rotten Apple!

I consider Sase Mc-T to be a geo-teacher, hence an "Apple" (in this case, a rotten apple) for the teacher. Through their hides I learned what I call the "Sase Mc-T Rules about hiding a micro." (I do actually call it this, in my head at least!)

1. Hide it, don't place it.
2. Do something new and different.
3. Hide it close to parking and with flat terrain so that if you don't find it you can easily come back as often as you need.
4. Give it a nice one word title that means something but whose meaning is deceptive and isn't obvious until after you find it. (In this case I added an adjective given the circumstances).

The cache is hidden on a lesser traveled area of Tryon Park. It is meant to be challenging, but not as challenging as its predecessor. The challenge in this one is my horrible satellite signal so give yourself at least a 20 foot radius (sorry, I did try to average them-and will accept improvements if they are way off). Please do your best to rehide as you found it.

In the spring/summer/fall there may be teenage muggles around riding their dirt bikes or baseball close by. You will also enjoy the soft hum of I-590, where, incidently, you should not park.

There is a lammy and a feeling of accomplishment for the FTF.

Congratulations to hjathome for the FTF...and to the honoree for again coming up one short at STF!
