This is an impromptu addition to the OC challenge and IS part of
the challenge. Thought an ammo can would be a nice break from a
frustrating puzzle cache. I realize that nebula5 hasn't quite hit
the mark yet but they are almost there and since I didn't know if
anyone else planned on placing a golden ammo for them and I didn't
want to interfere with that AND waiting for nebula5 to get from 997
to 1000 is akin to watching paint dry, here it is!
PLEASE NOTE: There are Private Property/No Trespassing signs
near the cache area. I confirmed with the town of Webster that
these signs are no longer applicable as the land just south of the
Webster Park is now town property as part of their open space
initiative purchased from the Midnight family. IGNORE THE SIGNS.
Access to the cache is through Webster Park.
The OC thought it would be nice to take a moment to honor an
area caching family as they reach their milestone of 1000 cache
finds. Very well earned from this very talented group of N's (all
the way down to the littlest ones)! No worries...being nebula5
confers no advantage for you on this cache and they have not gotten
any heads up in any way about the placement of this.
The cache is placed just around the boundary of Webster Park and
the former Midnight family property. It is appropriate that a
nebula5 golden ammo can gets placed near "Midnight" property,
especially in light of their heroics on
WTH #7 - Benches, Benches, Benches, and after that and after
their 6th place finish on the WTH challenge, they have proven
themselves to be Rochester area challenge cachers to be contended
with, especially given the field of such talented cachers who
participated in that challenge!
There will be an additional 10 bonus points for the first 5
cachers to "contact" me with exact words of nebula5's first cache
log. They are definitely as excited now about caching as they were
then!
Remember each OC cache will give you the opportunity to learn
about the location of the
final bonus cache. It will be hidden somewhere in a non-obvious
but findable way. Please note that I have changed the scoring
for this challenge slightly to reward people for finding more than
one of the "clues" that will lead you to the final cache. See
bonus cache page for details.
The cache is a .30 cal ammo can, appropriately decorated.
Coordinates were averaged as there was a pretty good bounce in the
area. Once you've found it, add your name to the log book and when
you write your online log/note for the find please include the
number with your log entry. Please only one cacher per line in the
log book. There is a "lammy" for the FTF. In addition, the nebulas
can take whatever swag they want from the cache if interested.
Kudos to the nebula5, now go beat them to the cache!
Congrats to Team GeoGriffin for
the FTF.
Congrats to pinkpanthers1995, Peppermill 6-Pack,
nebula5, Team GeoGriffin, and sagefemme for being the first 5 to
answer the bonus question correctly. The nebula5's first cache log
reads "We found it! Our very first cache ever!" Look how far they
have come!!
