Geocache Description:

You are looking for a micro sized cache that is out in the open, but well camouflaged from Muggles. There are no spruce needles or shrubbery or leaves or branches obscuring the cache. Please make sure it is securely in place after you get mischief managed.

I archived the original "Alaska Computer Terms" cache and moved that container downtown, so this cache keeps the same Alaska computer joke theme. Alaskans have a little different vocabulary than the lower 48, so here are some Alaska computer puns and jokes. Submit your own in your log entries!
