Hanging by the Threads Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

GoleeMD: Well this one didn't turn out quite like I had hoped. For all you DNF'ers, stage 1 is in fact there, it's just very difficult. The initial stage 1 was a magnetic bolt that looked like all the others under the bleachers, but that went missing shortly after I placed it. Not sure if it fell off when the groundskeepers moved the bleachers to mow or if someone swiped it. I made another stage 1 out of one of the actual bolts that holds the bleachers together and I marked it with the geocaching symbol. The bolt is cut off within the nut and hollowed out. It's tough, but it's still there. Unfortunately there were not many good hiding places for how I wanted to do stage 2, so it was easily figured out by a lot of people and kept getting raided by the neighbor kids who found it. I'm archiving this because while I like the idea, I'll be moving out of the area this summer and won't be able to fix it or maintain it.

Geocache Description:

Short but tricky 2-stage multi in a small park near where I used to live. My mother in law still lives nearby and my boys play at this park every time they visit grandma.

Stage 1 can be very tricky if you've never seen one like this before. This is the smallest one of these I've done, so you may need to bring some tweezers and a magnifying glass if you have bad eyes for small print. The difficulty rating is for doing it without hints. Using the hints will bring it to about a 2.

Stage 2 is a little easier, but still fun to retrieve. PLEASE PLEASE be very careful and delicate retrieving stage 2 until I can come up with a more durable solution.

You will find that the title applies to both stages, but in different ways.

Congrats to familyflea on the FTF!
