Geocache Description:

Small camo in a public place.(CAUTION: There are two 'Mimesis' caches here, on either side of the oval. Be careful not to confuse #2 with #1.)

There are three basic types of camouflage:
Crypsis, where the idea is to blend with the background and become virtually invisible; Dazzle, to adopt a colouration or pattern so bizarre it confuses position or outline; and Mimesis, to take on the appearance of something innocuous, repellent or dangerous.

This cache, (and its companion Mimesis#2 GC45DEC which shares the same location but separated by the obligatory 160 metres) use the latter method. But which variants?

They are both annoyingly small (only room for a little scroll log, so BYO pen) and out in the open in a public place —the location can be very heavily muggled at times, hence stealth may be required. And they are pretty well disguised.

In other words they are both nasty, sneaky, wretched, crafty and infuriating little caches!

Good luck!

ADDENDUM: Please do not over tighten the capsule! It causes the O-ring to bulge and make it difficult to remove the cache from its hiding spot.

Congratulations to Team autoværn (from that other Denmark) for a swift FTF!
