Geocache Description:

Turning up the degree of dificulty another notch for the ELTC, but I have faith in their abilities.

These ELTC caches are inspired by an unofficial group of dedicated cachers but anyone is more than welcome to search for them.

BYOP and happy hunting!


Please no spoilers in the logs or photos; let's keep this as hard for the next cacher as it was for you.

The ELTC are an elite group of geocachers who work or live in the Euclid area and hone their caching skills during their lunch breaks. 

The ELTC are also a quick response team to score FTF honors on new hides. Their training in lunch time cache finds makes them ideal searchers for newly posted caches and they have racked up an amazing number of FTFs. They employ stealth techniques of epic proportions, using props to go unnoticed by Muggles. They use the standard "talking on the cell phone" rouse for looking for the cache. One ELTC used a fishing pole to blend in while he hid a cache on a lake shore break wall. Another took her dog with her and pretended to be cleaning up after the dog while rehiding a cache. One of the ELTC pretended to be an old grumpy guy cleaning up trash in a local park to go unnoticed. The stories are myriad. The motto of the ELTC is, "If you hide it, we will find it; quickly, it the middle of the day, and without anyone noticing." All you have to do to do to become a member is to have found a cache in the Euclid area while out and about during lunch time hours and proclaim, "I am a ELTC!"
