Your GPS tells you that you are at ground zero (GZ). But.... what exactly are you looking for?
The cache listing always tells you what size you are looking for. This is determined by the Cache Owner (CO).
Cache sizes officially range from micro to large, but there is also the "Other" category.
Some examples of what these may be:
MICRO: A small container that might only hold a small log, like a 35mm film canister or small prescription pill bottle.
SMALL: A container large enough to hold a log and a few small tackable or trade items, like a small (16oz) peanut butter jar or tupperware container.
REGULAR: A good sized container with plenty of room for a log and tranckable and trade items, like an ammo can or large (32oz) peanut butter jar.
LARGE: A big container with a whole bunch of room for pretty much anything you could think to put in it, like a 5 gallon bucket or even a huge Rubbermade tote.
OTHER: This could be any size, from extremely small to extremely large. Included in this category are "nano" sized containers, which can be as small as the eraser on a pencil, and include only a very small piece of paper for a log. Unique containers might also be listed under this category.
Cache is a small camo-taped peanut butter jar placed near the ground in between the branches of a small tree just off the trail. Should be pretty easy to find. Make sure to write down the number written on the lid of the jar; you'll need it for the final exam.
To pass Lesson 2, make sure you sign your name and write an appropriate log.
Experienced Cachers: Feel free to share an example of a cool, unique container that you've found, or your favorite type of container to either hide or find.
