A hopefully quick park and grab
This is the first of the CC series. CC Stands for Colin's Cache in honor of my son. There will be a total of 28 caches in the CC series located mainly in the Spanaway/Graham/South Hill/Puyallup area. As the first of these caches, this cache will have any updates for the series and an overall description of how the series "works". (One note: I have a cache called Colin's Cache [GC3R6A4] located close to 410 between Sumner and Bonney Lake. Although the names are similar, that one is _not_ part of this series.)
The series will have 27 "normal" caches and 1 "bonus" cache. Each of the 27 "normal" caches will have a clue that will translate to a letter. These 27 letters will create a secret phrase that will be needed to get the bonus cache. The clues are not intended to be difficult, though the odds that anyone knows more than one or two in the series are not good. But each one should be able to be found within a few seconds with a simple online search. Here is an example. Note that this is _not_ the phrase for any of the caches. "Dan Brouthers -- Total Triples in Major League Baseball History". A quick look shows that he is 8th. 8 = H. If this had come up in a cache, the letter would be H. Please make sure you write down each phrase -- they will be required for getting the bonus cache.
This section added 4/22/2013: A couple of comments about the clues. The first is that the clues are physically a small-ish laminated piece of paper. Most of these caches are in bison tubes. There could be a need for tweezers to retrieve them. The second comment is that with a couple of exceptions (notably CC #10 and 22), all of the clues are part of list: longest XXX, order of people, etc. To get the number, find it's order/location in the list.
Each cache in the series will have a number. This, obviously, is #1. The number tells you where in the secret phrase to put the letter. So the phrase will have 27 letters -- the bonus cache will not be part of the secret phrase.
The secret phrase is made up of five words. The spaces occur after: CC 5, CC 7, CC 13 and CC 22. This information will be included with each of those 4 caches as well.
None of the cache placements are intended to be overly challenging or difficult. Experienced cachers should require less than five minutes for each one, hopefully.
As of 5/22, all the regular caches have been published. If requested, I will gladly email all coordinates for the caches (if you're planning a CC cache run and are having difficulty finding all the caches). I will also gladly email any clues for caches that have been logged (if they were forgotten to be written down or are temporarily missing from the cache itself).
That should be it for series descriptions.
Parking for this one is next to the cache. The cache is at a corner of a busy, semi-rural intersection. You should have a little bit of privacy looking for it, though. My initial readings for this one were N 47 03.203 W 122 22.138. When I looked at the satellite pictures, I adjusted them to what I'm officially posting. I decided to include both sets of numbers but if you find better coordinates, let me know.
Congratulations to ECM41 for FTF!
