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.
MIRROR: Mirrors are a tool that not enough cachers
utilize. They can be used to look around corners, under objects,
and sometimes into tight spaces. Some cachers don't normally carry
a mirror. I'll admit that I don't unless I know a cache requires
it. A mirror may be very helpful when locating this cache. You CAN
find this cache without a mirror, but it will be more work if you
do not use one.
The tree cover causes a bit of coordinate bounce. Displayed
coordinates are the average of several recorded visits. Anyone who
has a DNF can email for a hint, if needed.
You must retrieve the cache and sign the log in order to count
this as a find. Please rehide exactly as found.
Congrats to boompagirl and Pitt2unc on being FTF!
