This is an espionage themed, holster mounted, test tube cache in the tree line of a parking lot. No room for trackables except micro trackables. No room for trade items. Note photographs below.
Greetings, Agent ABANZR, if that really is your name! On behalf of the staff and faculty of Anatolii and Natasha’s Tradecraft Institute, AaNTI, I would like to welcome you to Dead Drop ZZZ! When your controller transmits the statement, “Buzzz Lightyear is running for president,” you are to go to the dead drop in the fence line at the coordinates listed to receive or transmit the secret plans, formula(s), or microfilm(s) using the spy tube you find.
This is the fourth Geocache in our Dead Drop series as shown below:
Name Waypoint Status
Grigorii / GCQB7K / Captured
Méi Guì / GC1PM39 / Active
Friedrichstrasse / GC35DQG / Active
ZZZ / GC380N7 / Active
INFINITY / GC4AQXN / Active
Your mission is to locate Dead Drop ZZZ and leave the purloined information for your controller to collect later.
Approach instructions: Park at least 300 feet away from the cache coordinates to permit you to casually reconnoiter your infiltration and exfiltration route as you approach the dead drop site. The approach is the parking lot of a hospital placed here for the sole purpose of cover for this drop site. The tree line in which the drop is located is level but too over grown to be wheelchair accessible.
As you near the coordinates listed, you will observe a tree line which conceals a fence line. DO NOT cross the fence line. The tree line will afford you some concealment during your search.
The cache container is a camouflaged tube 6 inches in length and one inch in diameter and holds only a log scroll. See attached photograph of Agent Miller, TBZP26, exhibiting the cache container. Bring your own writing tool. The tube is concealed in a camouflaged holster on a tree next to the fence line about 45 inches off the ground. In one of the attached photographs below, Agent Miller is standing on a low tree stump that is within arm's reach of the cache and serves as both a navigation aid to find the dead drop as well as a convenient spot to sit while accessing the container.
AaNTI has followed standard tradecraft guidelines in placing this dead drop. The placement is easy to describe, easy to find, and affords the agent with clear field of view in a concealed position while accessing the cache.
Remember CITO: Cache In Trash Out. If you carry a garbage bag and pick up some litter as soon as you disembark from your super spy car/rocket sled, you can claim to be a harmless Geocacher if challenged by enemy agents. Just show your “bag of convincingly real litter materials” as verification of your cover story for being where you are before flashing the enemy with your memory eraser PDA attachment and then exfiltrate to EVB QR WNARVEB for a few exotic beverages, shaken, not stirred.
On behalf of all the staff and faculty of AaNTI, let me wish you all the best on your mission, Agent ABANZR!
Please report back if the log scroll is damp so that it can be replaced quickly.
(Note: millions of muggles world wide have been volunteered to play the roles of enemy agents and ignorant bystanders.)
