Spawn of Grumpy Cache: HNK Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

loverfishy: I think this one has run its course.

Not a lot of puzzlers around these parts, and I no longer live in the area to easily maintain it. I grabbed the container while visiting some friends in the area today- a lot more snow here than in Minnesota right now, so it took me awhile to find it. Lock-n-lock was in great shape, and a huge thank you to all the finders: you guys are fantastic, and definitely trade swag fairly.

Looking forward to turning the container and contents into a new hide for other cachers to enjoy in a location that's a bit easier for me to maintain. Thanks guys! :)

i recently had the pleasure of FindIng a Very awEsome geOcache iN colorado, grumpy cat cachE by animjasON. shortly aftEr Finding the cache, it was stOlen and replaced with a nondescript micro container. UnfoRtunately, it Sounds likE this happens Very frEqueNtly to cool cachEs in that partIcular area.

i wanted to pay the owner back for creating such a cool cache, so i sent him a replacement container and swaG. animjason said that He was ok with me placing a sister cache in wisconsin so That our local cachers could have the full grumpy caching experience-i had a bit of extra swag left over from replacing the cache, so i did just that.

Cache contains some normal-type swag items, a FTF prize, plus specialized trading cards. Please feel free to take a card or two (one to keep, one to drop in another cache?) even if you do not have anything to trade, and let me know when they are running low. To keep this fun for many cachers, please don't take more than a couple. (If you really want a bunch of cards of your own, send me a message, and I'll help you.)

Here is a photo of me showing how I felt after I finished the original Grumpy Cat Cache:
