Geocache Description:


This is a tribute cache for JG425. JG425 is known for his lock picking caches that he has put out around the Renton-Tukwila area. Me and the rest of Team Lock Pick (Terrible Ts and Team Fin) have had a blast trying to get his caches open. So, as you can guess, this is a lock picking cache.....for now.

The cache is in the style of a JG425 lock picking cache, though I made this one my own so its not a total rip off of one of his hides. The cache is locked down with not one but two brass Master Lock 160s. The 160s fall in between the large brass 170s and the smaller 150s. Just like the 150s, the 160s have 5 pins you have to get past to get it open. As Master puts it on their packaging, "5 pin tumbler for maximum resistance to picking."  Yeah, right Master Lock!  :-)

Feel free to choose whatever method you want to pick open this lock. You can try raking, bumping, coaxing, wishing, any NONDESTRUCTIVE way to open this cache. LEAVE THE BOLT CUTTERS AT HOME but DO BRING YOUR OWN PICKS.

Since this is a tribute cache, the guest of honor should have FTF honors. I suspect if you wanted to team up with him, I am sure he will enjoy the company.

Enjoy!
