Tools of the trade, caching supplies, the contents of your cache
pack... whatever you call it, it boils down to being prepared. As a
geocacher, preparation is important. Being prepared to find the
cache, being prepared to retrieve the cache, and being
prepared to keep yourself safe while doing it.
I hope this series of caches will prove to be a fun reminder
that not all geocaches in the woods are ammo boxes covered with
pine straw, and not all urban geocaches are under lamp post skirts.
Similarly I hope it will remind cache hunters that preparedness --
what we have with us while we search -- is important.
None of this series should be extremely difficult, but will
hopefully make for an enjoyable finding experience.
COMPASS: Finding virtually any geocache requires a GPSr.
Oh, you'll read about some beginners finding easy caches using
satellite maps and descriptions, but for anything beyond that, a
GPSr, or GPS enabled phone, is required.
What some beginning geocachers fail to use often enough is a
good old-fashioned compass. When your GPSr says the cache is NNE,
just which way is that?
This cache is a multi. The coordinates will take you to stage 1.
There you will find a bearing and distance to the final stage. You
will have to use your compass to take a bearing and walk to the
final stage.
Due to the nearby office building, this cache is recommended for
evening, night, or weekend searching.
You must retrieve the cache and sign the log in order to count
this as a find. Please rehide exactly as found.
Congrats to rcg910 and Rolling To Victory on being FTF!
