This series is called Beginner's Luck, or BL for short. This cache is one of several hidden specifically for beginners.
ABOUT THIS SERIES…
Are you new to Geocaching? If so, then this series is for you. I remember how hard it was to find my first few caches—it was so frustrating. I had heard that once you find a cache, it is easier to find the next one, but I was having trouble finding the first one. Luckily for me, I met some wonderful experienced Geocachers who helped me out, and soon I was able to find them myself.
Hopefully, this series will help you find your first caches. I have hidden 50 Geocaches along a hike-and-bike trail in a greenbelt park, and in the surrounding neighborhoods. I used several different kinds of containers, and camouflaged them in different ways. If you have trouble finding any of them, simply read the hint provided. Usually the hints for finding caches are cryptic, but in this case I will tell you exactly where the cache is, so that you will experience success and become familiar with several different hides. Each cache description will also include a tip about Geocaching.
Welcome to the world of Geocaching!
Note: If you are an experienced Geocacher and want to grab these caches, by all means do so. But reading the hint will definitely be a spoiler, so beware! Please feel free to add a tip for the Newbies when you log your find.
ABOUT THIS CACHE...
You are looking for a small plastic centrifuge tube that has been camouflaged to blend in with its surroundings. It contains a log only. This cache is wheel-chair friendly!
GEOCACHING TIP: When choosing a location to hide your cache, look for an area that is safe and picturesque or otherwise interesting.
