Geocache Description:

I wanted to hide a almost muggle-proof cache within the Fresno metropolitan area, so I've copied a trick that I first saw used on a cache hidden in Bakersfield. The high difficulty rating is because the container will be quite difficult to retrieve; you will need a special tool. If you want an idea as to what the tool will be, please see the hint! Please replace the container right side up.

This cache is located well into the CSUF campus, so parking may be an issue; you may have to pay or come when the campus is all-but-deserted. There is no legal parking next to the cache; you will need to walk a bit. Stealth may or may not be an issue, depending on the amount of traffic on Barstow, but it is often heavy.

NOTE: There are actually at least four containers in the hiding place; the lower ones have all become stuck. You are welcome to try to retrieve the first three, but it does make the newer container a little easier to retrieve by keeping it higher in the hiding place. Slow and steady is the best way to retrieve either container. Please return it magnet side up, which means the CAP goes UP. Thank you!

I used my GPS to determine some initial coordinates and then the website Boulter.com/GPS to come up with the most accurate coordinates I could. I had a clear view in the satellite photo, but a nearby metallic building could cause your GPS problems.

If you have any suggestions on improving the description of this hide, including any of the numbers I've used, please let me know, either via a log entry or an email message. Thank you.

Congratulations to tthor71 for being the FTF and for his 1100th find!
