Geocache Description:

A miserable micro hunt on a piece of filthy decommissioned military equipment.

 


This cache was MontanaScarecrow's idea. I would not have put it there on my own initiative, mainly because I dislike this type of hide. The fact is, I just can't walk away from these miserable micro hunts once I start searching! But MontanaScarecrow thought the Capital City Cachers should be good hosts to the out of town cachers who are visiting on the date this is being published for our annual summer picnic event. Since some of the visiting cachers come every year for this fun event, Mr. Scarecrow figured they should have some nearby new caches to find while at the Lewis & Clark fairgrounds. Problem is... this place is saturated with previously placed caches. By some bizarre stoke of bad luck, one of the few slivers of real estate available for a cache was where this one is hidden. Walk 50 feet in any direction and you're probably within 528 feet of another cache. "So be it" says I, "this must be how it's concealed to comply with Scarecrow's wishes!".

If you can't find it... it's Scarecrow's fault! If you hate these kind of caches... it's Scarecrow's fault! If you get filthy...it's Scarecrow's fault! If you end up bloody and/or bruised... it's Scarecrow's fault! If you're surrounded by screaming little muggles...it's Scarecrow's fault! If it's raining or cold and you start getting hypothermia... it's Scarecrow's fault! If the security folks stop and ask you what you're doing... it's Scarecrow's fault! If it's so hot your burn your hands searching and heat exhaustion sets in... it's Scarecrow's fault! If you are at any point frustrated and angry...it's Scarecrow's fault! If you're arrested and end up in jail... feel free to call Scarecrow for bail money!

If you have fun, find it easily, have perfect weather, enjoy the challenge, get to laugh out loud as you hunt, love the hide, enjoy the history, meet fun and interesting people... you're welcome!!!!

Log only- please bring a writting stick.

 

Congrats to Pete & Re-Pete (nice grab) and the whole gang of cachers who shared the FTF during the CCC annual summer picnic event!
