This is my 50th hide - To make it more memorable, I thought that I would make the description a sort of amalgamation of the WORST caches I've found. Most of this stuff is, I'm afraid, true. Just for fun, if you want, let me know some of your worst in your logs! Oh, by the way, this cache is a very findable ammo can just off the road, has very accurate coordinates, and nothing like what is described below...
Wow! This is my first hide, so I decided to make it an easy 7 stage multi, but I'm going to call it a puzzle and put the whole description inside an image to make it more easy! After about a 2 mile hike, you will find a big, steep garbage dump. Stage one is in there somewhere, under a bottle of something, and it looks like kind of like a pipe bomb, but don't worry, it's not. Oh - you can't really park anywhere good, so just leave your car on the side of the road by the railroad tracks. They never enforce that "No Parking" sign; Ha ha ha! Stage two is a buried lock & lock that has about 3" of pine needles on top of it located in front of a police station's front door, in a really nicely landscaped area, but don't worry, they all know that it is there, and I have approval from the commissioner, the district attorney, the fire chief and some janitor. Tell them thanks for protecting us when you see them, because I'm sure that the desk sergeant tells them about the cache during roll call every shift! Oh yeah - if you need a hint, it is just like most of UmptyScrunch's caches, but just a little different! After all, everybody has found an UmptyScrunch cache! Stage three is a very tiny cache that I stuck on the underside of some big 50x50' metal statue with a whole bunch of sharp ridges and rusty spikes all over it. I think the coords are pretty good, but I'm not really sure, since I couldn't read the GPSr right. You won't need a hint for something this easy! Stage four is a virtual - Send me the date you find by clicking on this link - it usually works. You MUST send the information using the link or I will delete your log, but DON"T send the date that is right at GZ: The coords that I listed aren't really where it is, and you will have to wander around the park trying to find other dates on plaques to get credit! Oh - wait a minute that's too easy - Just send the answers to two questions that the last guy wrote down, and then ask two more of your own on any subject that you like for the next cacher to answer! You can find the coordinates to the next stage by adding the digits of the license plate of the car in the 3rd space to your answer! Stage five is even easier than the rest! It is a Lamp Post cache in a parking lot with a beautiful park all around it, with no other caches for a good half mile! Careful, though, I think that I heard some buzzing when I tossed it in there. Stage six - almost there! this one is a "rocky" sort of hide - just look at that great pile of rocks over there! there must be about four thousand of 'em and they all look just the same! I don't have real good cords for the "different" one, but it should be pretty easy to spot! And the final! This one is a ziplock container that I was going to throw out, but hey, it makes a GREAT hide! You can't miss it! it has camo tape on the outside and is hidden under a big black leaky garbage can in the middle of a busy strip mall plaza! It might be sort of wet, because the lid doesn't fit very well since it cracked in half. Someone told me that it was 250' from the posted coordinates, but that can't be right - I used Google Earth to get them, and sure looked right on to me! So I think that this is about a 1/1 - hope you have fun!
