Checkmate Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MegaGengar: I apologize, but as I am getting busier and busier, I won't be able to give Checkmate as much care as I once did. It is only fair that I archive the geocache to allow future caches to hidden. Feel free to use any part of my description/idea/name if you choose to hide your own cache around here.

Geocache Description:

This Cache is placed in a cool chess set nearby. Bring along a friend, to have a relaxing game of chesschess.

Hello. Please change to the 'web' view instead of text view. If you don't, a bunch of the description will be GONE. Thanks.

This spot was chosen, as chess is my favourite board game. Anybody who doesn't like chess shouldn't be geocaching at all.

Stealth is requiredbad-police, as it is a HIGHLY muggle populated area- especially for children. There are MANY regulars to this spot, and if they find out about the cache, they will take the cache , and I will have to hide it in a different spot!

Please rehide this EXACTLY AS IT WAS. The cache is there. Look, and look. You WILL find it.

I live literally 2 blocks away, so PLEASE don't hesitate to give me a needs maintenance, whenever something happens. In fact, it would HELP me if you post a needs maintenance with a 3/4 full log or something. I will try my best to to monthly checkups, and if there is a needs maintenance, complete an owner maintenance within 2 days, if i'm in town

Oh-- don't look at the hint before you look for the cache. That ruins the fun. Only look if you need to.

Please remember just to use one space for the log. I have lots of books, but you know. I'll run out (eventually). I suggest you bring tweezers (or a chopstick) for the cache, as I had great difficulty extracting the logbook.

Because the logbook is a RITR (Write in the Rain) logbook, stamps are not advisable (but I am bound by the geocaching agreement to allow you to stamp if you want). And, please BRING YOUR OWN PEN!. If you don't sign the logbook, it is with my deepest regret, unfortunately I will have to delete your log online.

Happy Cachingexclaim
