Geocache Description:

It's Winter in Cunningham Falls SP.
Come enjoy some cool, crisp air.

Of the things I enjoy most besides placing caches in far flung places is naming them. No doubt you have noticed some of those in Cunningham Falls SP. I had great difficulty naming this one. The logbook inside this cache is labeled "Come and Get Me". Unfortunately this name is too bland.

Last winter the MDGPS Forums had a thread on Hard Core Caching. In the spirit of winter caching I was going to name this cache by the same name. Yet still it was absent a certain quality. For those that have sampled “Pointless and Sadistic”, you know I like to add a local flair to my caches. So the task of naming this cache continued.

Two winters ago I released a cache featuring LPYankeeFan's nappy knit winter hat. It was released just as winter fell upon the mountain. Larry wasted little time trailblazing to and from the cache. He even brought Snurt for good measure. The ice and snow made the trails too difficult to travel so they bushwacked to and fro. Ha! I have found inspiration for this cache. Suspecting LP would like to share his adventure again, I included Snurt in the fun as well. Welcome to LPYF & Snurt’s Excellent Adventure.

This cache was placed in time for some winter follies in Cunningham Falls SP. It is not on the trail. Parking coordinates are available from some of the other caches in the park. FTF ordinarily has a more difficult time since there are no geotrails leading to the cache. This one is different. I have flagged GZ with orange tape visible at some angles from more than 100 feet away. This will guarantee the first to seek will find the cache, regardless of total snowfall. The same cannot be said for those that follow.

Here's the trick. FTF must remove the tape and hide the cache as well if not better than found. The object is to beat LPYankeeFan and Snurt to the cache. For good measure, leave lots of tracks in the snow to make it clear they were not first to arrive.So who will it be? SueCat? MD8baller? Wirtz? Corfmania? WVKiwi? Czar7? _JohnnyCache (Mr FTF)? The Weather Warrior (AKA N3PRZ)? Vinny of Vinny & Sue?

FTF will find an unactivated “Traditional Cache” coin plus several other trinkets including a white rubber ducky. Please save the rubber ducky for LP.



A frozen congratulations to eXtreme Jeep for FTF
