Geocache Description:

It's Wee Crackin's tenth birthday and what's better than putting out a geocache to celebrate?  Putting out ten caches!


I've sadly had to replace the original container, which is too bad, since there was a fun anecdote that went with it. I'll leave the story up since, like the truth, it may still be out there. The new container is a camo'd pill bottle and it is nestled a little ways off the ground between the fence and some old dead branches that are still entwined in the fence. It's at the base of a pruned shrub.

This paragraph is the original story, so unless you like geocaching stories you don't have to read any further (I think the original cache in the picture is still there if anyone cares to look) Funny story about this one, which is also a spoiler, but what the heck.  I had looked at this vast expanse of fence along Mackay Road and thought there was the opportunity for a cache series, but didn't really do too much about it.  We bought this container and then came here to see how well it blended with the vegetation.  As we were contemplating the options, Wee Crackin noticed something that was the same shape as our cache.  Thinking it would be neat to put them together, he picked it up and lo and behold it was a geocache container.  But not just a geocache container - it was the identical container to the one we were trying to hide!  At first we were excited thinking we had stumbled upon a live geocache, but it looks like it was put here in retirement.  It's made of natural material, so why not?  I'd love to find out the history of this one if anybody knows it. (Thanks to Edgemonks who seems to have done some sleuthing worthy of Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery) 

YOU GUESSED IT! THE CACHINGCOFLINS SCORE ANOTHER FTF!!
