NOT Another… #3 (PBC) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

pastorlamar: Well, since this one is meant to be a "Phone Booth" cache, and the entire phone booth has been removed, I guess it's time to archive it, and plant a similar one in a different area. Thanks to those who looked for it, for those who found it, and especially for those who wrote enjoyable logs about their experience.

Geocache Description:

How many times have you arrived at the location of a cache, and you knew—YOU KNEW—just by looking, that it was going to be “another one of THOSE caches”? Well, NOT this time!

This is #3 in a series of local geocaches designed to RE-stimulate the weary caching senses you had the first time you went out looking for these little treasures—before they became so common. Each cache is hidden for those of you who want to sharpen your geo-noggins, and don’t want to spend hours on a stark, grueling hunt-n-find (such as those dreaded ivy caches). Each cache name contains 3 initials—an abbreviated description of the TYPE of cache you are looking for (“C” always stands for “Cache”)—and should help you when you get to the cache location. Everything else is pure geo-sense.

No additional hints should be necessary, except this: DON’T EXPECT THE OBVIOUS! Oh, and have fun!

With the changes in technology, these locations are becoming more rare. But they continue to serve as great places to hide a small cache. Though not currently active, at least two in the bay area have previously found such a use. This one isn’t like any I’ve ever seen, however.

LOCATION: Farr’s True Value Hardware has been serving the Bay Area since 1916, and can often be a geo-hider’s favorite haunt.

Congrats to Ottontots for the FTF! Watch out Superman!
