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.
GLOVES: Sometimes you might find yourself looking for a
cache in a spot that's well hidden and potentially a great spot for
hiding spiders, bugs and who knows what else. Gloves are invaluable
for those times when you need to reach your hand into deep, dark
holes. Other examples of hazards gloves might protect you against
include poison ivy, thorns, and sharp metal edges.
Spiders probably won't be a problem when finding this cache.
Neither should poison plants. In fact, you won't be actually harmed
without gloves, however you may be darned annoyed to find yourself
in a prickly situation if you didn't pack them!
You must retrieve the cache and sign the log in order to count
this as a find. Please rehide exactly as found.
