Geocache Description:

The cache IS located at the posted coordinates.

I built this device to accompany a tool I bought at one of those super cheap discount stores. I went to the store looking for something else, but when I saw this tool, I knew it would come in handy eventually. The device, with an accompanying tool, was $3.00 so don't expect to spend lots of money.


I never found a real use for the tool, but I thought I could build a cache that would require this, or a similar, tool. You will need to visit the cache site to determine what your tools options are. I would not be surprised if there is a cacher out there with a useful tool in their geocaching bag of tricks already, but most will not. Even with the right tool, you will need to be patient and have a steady hand. You do not need any tools to replace the container.

When you approach GZ the cache, which is a blue bison tube, is in plain site. You will need to assess the situation and determine your tool of choice. Please do not damage the contraption, remove the contraption, cut the zip ties, or fill the contraption with liquid. It is designed to keep falling rain out; it is fastened with zip ties so that it is mostly obscured with natural growth from passersby. There is no foot traffic here except for the lawn mowing crew. It is easily accessible with only a short walk from nearby parking. I wore flip flops and shorts when I placed the cache.

The rating is based on the fact that you have to determine what special tool to use, actually have the patience and dexterity to use the tool, and visit the location at least twice You MUST sign the log to claim a find.
