Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Coordinates are the surface coordinates to the underground laboratory where this cache was created.


****June 12th 2013 -- I think the city got word of my little creation and decided to do away with the area. To keep it safe, it was moved. Add .017 to the north coordinates and minus .006 from the west coordinates. This cache is not on or around private property. Make sure you check all the places a cache might hide. I will add a geochecker.****

Working in my lab(near the 45 degree latitude and the 122 degree longitude) I started mixing elemental compounds together to create the ultimate cache.  I started with Zinc as my base and added Barium and started to mix slowly.  Next I added Oxygen and put in the centrifuge.  After a while I was left with a green gelatinous blob. 

"How can I put a log into this mess and expect cachers to sign it?" 

 So in another vial I first dropped some Arsenic followed by Chlorine. 

"Something is missing.  That's it, I'll add Nitrogen."

Once those components were mixed I added them to the first mixture, and, whoa look out. The elements started to react to each other and right before me I had a camo green container covered in a light brown bark-like skin.  I was proud of my new creation but had to hide it because of its potential.  I wanted to show it off but had to keep it hidden from the wrong people.  I stashed it and ran. I noticed the area has hourly restrictions so please be careful and respect local laws. It might be a fun night cache.  

Its safe and sound for now, but please stop by and check it out.  I left a nano container for the FTF to hide themselves or leave for the next finder.
