Geocache Description:


Mn-treker and I do a lot of caching together. We both teach Machine Shop so we decided to put out a few hides geared towards that area. No special tools are required at this time but you want to dress accordingly for a small challenge in a woods-swamp terrain (A personal favorite). Of all the higher end machining that we've done in industry we came up with this name regarding tough home projects. The worst I have encountered are swing sets for the kids. Bad instructions (when read), missing parts, and extra parts when you really start to wonder if it is going to function when you get the project done. Thank-you to the Brooklyn Park and Recreation Department for permission for us to place this cache.

I raised the terrain rating today because the water level in the "canal" went over my Muck Boots. Sometimes this is dry or frozen and the terrain rating would be less. No climbing required-Just slopping thru a swamp. Good luck on this one. (:-)
