Geocache Description:

A camo'd nano experience intended to test more than your geosense.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, Geocacher. I want to play a game.

So far, what you call this your game, you've been living seeking caches without learning anything about yourself.

The society calls you a cacher, seeker, a searcher. I call you a human with much to learn about yourself.

But how much have you learned? How many times have you found a tucked under lock-n-lock or camo'd drink container in a tree or simple-minded plastic baggie with your only concern about yourself is your greed for another find log. Your need for another number, a smiley. Has it been worth it?

I call you to go beyond geosense and geoexperience and onto revalations about your human instinct to find the cache you so desperately want to posses, to log, to build your number.

Now, we will see if you are willing to look in the geoworld and yourself better than that, to give up the things you rely on in order to go on building your number.

The device you seek is not large but looms large in its ability to test more than just your search skills. Is it worth it?

This time the game is different. This time you will have to search within yourself. To overcome yourself. To put aside those things. If you don't you will not find. Will it be worth it?

What you see before you is a typical urban scene, easily overlooked by you as being mundane and ordinary hardly worth your second look. But second look you will. All you may see is a busy roadway, sidewalk, a couple driveways, curbs, parking lot, scrub grass, weeds, dirt, scraggly bush, drainage ditch, pipes and Concrete. But, I assure you, there is much more here. Much more to test you. Much more to make you look inward before you can act- Is it still worth it?

Taking to account that you are at great disadvantage here, I am going to give a hint from where hidden the cache. So listen carefully. The hint is this:it's right where the coordinates say it is. That much you can trust. But what else will you trust?

How much will you overcome yourself for a find or will you succumb to instinct and not find? How much will you learn about yourself for a find or will you accept a could not find? And what will you have learned? Was it worth it?

Geocacher. Find or not.- Is it your choice or your fate?

DIRECTOR'S CUT

I conceived this based on real life experience while caching. It is important for me to note I do not "own" any material used. I only provided the concept, assembly, and deployment. I must credit others with finding and providing the material and creativity. But all responsibility for form, function, location, description, and deployment, and, ultimately, success or failure is solely my own.
