Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small camo'd container. It contains smileys for you!

I have been looking for this kind of hide all my short geocaching career and have never found one, so now you get to. The cache has an Achilles' heal that might help you find it. Remember to BYOP.

I'm adding this note after returning to this cache. Time and weather have turned it into a 5 difficulty in my opinion. Despite the advice of the FTF, I'm going to put in some useful hints. Do not feel ashamed to use them.

Please take a smiley! DO NOT TRADE SWAG UNLESS YOU HAVE SMILEY SWAG AND WANT TO TRADE IT. (Smiley swag is swag with smiley faces on it.) I will keep this cache loaded with smileys for you. Please include the fact you took a smiley in the log so I know when to go back.

I don't have enough experience with night caching to recommend it as such. If you night cache, please be aware you will have to cross a small stream bed two to three feet deep. While the bed is generally dry, you might twist your ankle if you aren't careful.

The camo is rather delicate, so please handle gently.

Congratulations to GeoJunkie2012 and MrsGeoJunkie2012! They took the FTF pin 40 minutes (!!!) after publication. At night!

As always, should you or any member of your geocaching team be caught, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your existence.
