BYOP Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

24hawki: I enjoyed creating this container and placing it for Hike-n-Seek 2015! [:P] But, my unique container has not weathered well over the last two years, so it's time to say goodbye to this one. [:(] Thanks to everyone who chased this one, and for your favorite points!! [^] I hope you enjoyed the hunt, the container, and your smiley earned as much as I did when I created it!! [:D]

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates!!
This cache was hidden in conjunction with IGO's 2015 Hike-n-Seek.



BYOP - what does that mean?

Bring Your Own Phone?
Bring Your Own Pet?
Bring Your Own Pirate?
Bring Your Own PAF?
A variety of answers perhaps, but considering the cache title, you better have the standard TotT of some kind of writing utensil!

This cache was originally an unpublished hide at HnS'15. Cachers needed to find the actual coordinates that were hidden on a writing instrument located somewhere near the Swiss Valley Campground. Now that HnS'15 is behind us, you only have to look at the additional waypoint listed below to get the coordinates for the final and claim your smiley.
Have fun, and Happy Caching!!

**Cache at your own risk**

Geocaching, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities involve risk to both persons and property. There are many variables including, but not limited to, weather, fitness level, terrain features and outdoor experience, that must be considered prior to seeking a Cache. Be prepared for your journey and be sure to check the current weather and conditions before heading outdoors. Always exercise common sense and caution.
**Remember to be good ambassadors to nature. We as geocachers have a responsibility to leave it as we found it, so others may enjoy nature's glory. Always replace the cache the way you found it, so others may enjoy the find.
