Geocache Description:

Congratulations to ProgKing for a next day FTF!

Placed on April 12th as stated above, but I wanted to spend some time testing the container, and then the coordinates. I didn't submit this to be published until May 6th


I don't usually put out these containers as most of them end up trashy and soggy, but I think this is a hide method that is done less than many other urban hides, so I feel comfortable doing it. I also field tested the container, as I mentioned to Simon of Zekester and Simon fame, and also ProgKing, at a recent past event. I feel I deployed the container well and should hold up to the elements, especially given the location of GZ.

Now for the coordinates: GZ makes it tough to get a good read, so I attempted to get a good read close enough to GZ to put you right in front of it. Coupled with the hint, this should be a breeze, especially if folks have found any of the Eagleblazer "Hello? Hello?" coffee house series. (Of which there seems to only be one surviving member. Hint hint anyway.) Coordinates are probably 15-20 feet off, but in a direction that should make GZ pop out to you pretty well.

Also, watch out for muggles and be stealthy. That is most of the difficulty.

This cache is also part of my Westminster/Eldersburg/Sykesville C&D series. To read the full story, go read the description for my new cache, You Can Do It!

The short version:

A couple of my caching friends are working on streaks and/or calendars and are running out of caches. In support of their streaks, I am placing as many new C&Ds as I can in the Westminster/ Eldersburg/ Sykesville/ Hampstead area.

In an effort to maintain the integrity of the cachers these are for and of the caches themselves, I set a few rules.

The caches:
1. Will not have a difficulty less than 2.
2. Will not be under light post skirts or be inside guard rail ends.
3. Will not be garbage containers (i.e. hollowed out pens with tape all over them. mint containers, dip cans, chap stick tubes, or even film containers).
4. Will not be in trashy locations. The location will be at least suitable for the hide, if not adding something to it.
I also want to have at least one that is large enough to handle swag and one that is a puzzle.

Have fun and cache on!
