Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above advertised coordinates.

Origami:
Origami, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques.                 [from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Origami&oldid=730815596]

The Cache:
Step 1. Download and print the template that can be found here or here
Step 2. Carefully cut out the two shapes.
Step 3. Click here to goto the instructions at YouTube and follow those instructions to create an 'Origami Gatefold Box'. Make sure the folds are 'accurate' and 'sharp'.
Step 4. Once you get 7 min 30 sec into the tutorial you should, with careful examination, be able to acertain the cache coordinates on the 'Box'. However, I urge you to continue to the end of the tutorial and complete the whole project.
Step 5. The video , (just having blank sheets) does not need to worry about orientation of the sheet, whereas, the writing on this sheet for the cache means you must check the orientation at varions stages. Check the red box time/positions below!!!. If you cannot find suitable location numbers, go back to an earlier stage and rotate 90 degrees before continuing.
red box position start: 0-Face down, mid bottom; 1.52-left bottom; 2.55-top right; 3.49-bottom left; 4.08-bottom right; 4.37-top left; 5.09-turn over top right; 5.41-turn over bottom right; 5.43-top right.

GO GET IT!




The cache is only small (no room for swaps) so bring your own pencil and maybe a tool to extract the log. This may not be a busy area but please ensure you aren’t seen retrieving or replacing the cache and that the container is placed back properly to prevent muggling.
BEWARE OF TRAFFIC.

Enjoy the challenge!!!
