Hoosier_Reviewer: Since there has been no response to my previous note, I am archiving the cache.

While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you for a reasonable amount of time, we cannot do so indefinitely.

Geocache Description:

This park is open from dawn to dusk. NO NIGHT CACHING in the park! No room for a writing utensil in this one - bring your own pen!

As we were writing up our last cache hide (GC35H7R) and trying to decide on a name, we were reflecting on how this game of geocaching is dependent upon reciprocity. You hide something and I find it - then I hide something and you find it. Without that kind of working together and giving back to one another, geocaching would not be nearly so much fun.

One way this reciprocity and giving back is exemplified is by the Groundspeak Volunteers - so we decided to name that last cache "TSR - The Secret is Reciprocity" (GC35H7R). Before that one was even published, we decided to make this a three-cache "Reciprocity Series" to recognize the contributions of the then-current Indiana Reviewers to this hobby (Reviewer HILTS, The Mad Reviewer, and The Scarlett Reviewer). Since then, a fourth volunteer Reviewer (Hoosier Reviewer) has joined the team - thus prompting this to become a four-cache series. We have created a bookmark list for all of the caches in the series: Bookmark LINK.

The initials of this cache are for The Mad Reviewer - who has so far published all of our caches (though I will ask one of the other reviewers to publish this one!). As I prepared to publish that TSR cache, I enabled it and then sent an e-mail to TMR to make a request regarding the timing of the publication. Next thing I knew, I had an e-mail back saying that it was already done. To quote TMR's e-mail: "I already did all this before I got your email :) I'm like a ninja >:) Hee hee."

Well, that e-mail influenced this hide. You will need some of those ninja skills to find this cache. It is a nano - and it is not a terribly difficult hide - BUT it is quite out in the open. You are going to need your ninja-like stealth skills in full force to snag this cache and get it back without attracting too much attention.

This cache is located at the entrance to Independence Park, which is Indiana's first fully handicapped accessible park AND playground. It is owned by the county but has been funded by donations from the community and businesses. The playground and all trails in the park are fully ADA accessible.

Congratulations to krisNjoe on yet another FTF, just under an hour after the cache was published - and to myGPSencounters for a close STF
