X Marks The Spot #5: The Little Ecks Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

imanxman: Whelp, its had a good run, but visiting the last few days has proven that what used to be just a daring daytime search is now an impossible daytime search, for the business changed the use of the oarking lot right at the gz, this is now where employees stand to manage the drivethrough line. I had hoped they would go back to their ore-covid patter, but after almost 4 years apparebtly it is a permanent thing now. I did NOT intend to make a ‘after business hours only’ hide, my apologies. Closing this one down, thanks all for coming to find it.

Geocache Description:

In honor of a favorite family movie from my childhood: "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". It always used to be on New Year's Eve, and we'd watch it while playing Monopoly, waiting for the ball to drop... ;)


HIGH MUGGLE FACTOR HERE, hence the D rating, which I may tweak after I see how the first several finders fare on this one. I suggest this as a 'middle of the night' find, or at least before 10am when the business VERY nearby opens! Then, barring a possible security patrol, it may seem remarkably easy.

In the movie, they were trying to race to the treasure, which was buried 'under a big dubya'.

Well...look for 'the big ecks'!
...or, really, the LITTLE ecks. ;)

One difference from the movie, it is NOT buried, for X in fact marks the spot, so very very exactly!

Again, the high D rating is for the HIGH muggle factor here and the fact that you are completely exposed 360 degrees, between the drivethru nearby and probably to security cameras! Best efforts to protect the cache, please. ;)
