The Horror of it All! Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

HotBarbecuered: With the DNF logs of some avid cachers, I'm going to have to assume that the worst has happened with this cache [V].
Oh well, all good things must come to an end I guess [:(].
Nice that it lasted as long as it did.
Time to say goodbye.

Your worst nightmare comes true !

Groundspeak has introduced a challenge that requires you to go after a variety of cache types...not just the popular "Traditional" ones.  Sounds pretty easy, right?  UNLESS...

     • You have children that need care and attention... some who cacn't be away from their parents for a prolonged period of time
     • You do not own a vehicle to go on any "road trips"
     • You have already done all of the non-traditional caches that are within walking distance of your home and that allow you to cache with your children "in tow"
     • None of the local cachers seem to be submitting any new caches, and those that are are only submitting Traditional caches
     • You can't get your children to just create the required caches on a profile of their own so you can just get a "free ride" by finding their caches... they're too young to have their own account.  Besides, that would be dishonest and considered "cheating", wouldn't it?
     • Time is of the essence!  Groundspeak will only allow you 31 days to find the required cache types and achieve the prize souvenirs

What do you do??  Will you be doomed to never see these "once-in-a-caching-career" souvenirs appear on YOUR profile?


Luckily, you submit your problem to an online group, and one person finds out where you are located, happens to have family there, and offers to make a visit to the area and create the cache types that you require !  Your worries are over !!!  Or ARE they???  

 

PS... It will be interesting to see how many people can make the connection between this cache's stamp image and the name of the cache !
