Geocache Description:

Look up for a container the size of a Peanut Butter jar converted into a GeocCache container. Location would be rated with a 1 difficulty if it were not for the Muggles that frequent the area. Please make sure container is back in place and secured into lid.

An albatross is a large seabird highly efficient in the air, using dynamic soaring and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertion. Of the 21 recognized species 19 have been threatened with extinction. They are absent from the North Atlantic.

The word "albatross" is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse.

A quick find is possible but the terrain rating should clue you into the fact that you probably should not expect a Park & Grab here. A simple hide but not quite your normal Geocache placement. Some physical agility might help maneuver the geographic terrain. However, the only real curse associated with this cache is the summer Muggle factor that WILL make stealth and surreptitious behavior necessary to retrieve/replace the cache container. Should any little Muggle eyes observe you rest assured . . . the cache will be stolen leaving only the lid as evidence any treasure was here! Once the cache has been found and properly logged feel free to return to the real world and take a stroll over to the beach, you're almost there. It's a great place for a walk. First Find honors go to L&D of MTG. Permission granted for cache placement.
