Geocache Description:


This cache is located at the posted coordinates. It is located on a quiet country road, one of the 60 caches in the Bones'n'Booth (shortened to B.B.) Series. They are designed to be a variety of puzzles, multis, traditionals and letterbox hybrids of varying size, terrain and difficulty.

Lance Sweets is brought into the series in season three as a psychologist to Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan. His presence provides a bit of comic relief, as he is often the target of insults from both Booth and Brennan. His youth and inexperience with police work also prove to be a challenge for him, while his psychoanalysis of Booth and Brennan is typically quite accurate.

Sweets is a caring character who is well-liked, although his personality can be a contrast to the scientific, analytical personalities of the squints. He can be seen as immature sometimes, which can make his job difficult.

It was initially learned Sweets was writing a paper on Booth and Brennan's relationship because he thinks it's not supposed to work but it does, which is why he asked them if he could continue his analysis of them. The primary focus of the work is how Booth and Brennan are opposites, yet their sexual attraction is limited due to their primary responsibility to their careers. While they constantly mock him and, sometimes join together to turn against him, Booth and Brennan really understand Sweets does like them and that is why he wanted to work with them after their therapy ended - in exchange, they would have profiles. He vehemently denied emotional attachment to them, but they are all aware of the emotional connection, though they hide it with banter.

Booth is very suspicious of his ability to predict behavior using psychoanalysis, calling it "Jedi mind tricks." Although Booth grows to accept his ability and expertise at psychology throughout the show and begins to ask for his advice during interogations. Brennan is also skeptical of his ability. She calls psychology a soft science and thinks it has no credence. Both however have come to respect his ability on some level.

Sweets is very well educated, with a psychology undergraduate from Monroe Community College, a Masters degree in abnormal psychology from Suny Brockport and doctorate degrees in clinical psychology from the University of Columbia and behavioural analysis from the University of Pennsylvania.

The terrain rating of this cache is due to the height of the cache location; those who are vertically challenged may have problems reaching the cache.
