Geocache Description:

LIMITED CACHING HOURS

Another cache in my, "I just wanna sign the log!" series in which I lead you to the cache, but you have a puzzle or a challenge in order to sign the log.  

A short 2 part multi but due to high muggle area can only  be done during limited times.


LIMITED CACHING HOURS! Read below.

Parking coords are for behind an old church. Going westbound on ridge rd, turn right into the Mens Warehouse parking lot and go down and behind.

When I saw this location, 2 different ideas occurred to me. I couldn't decide which one so I combined the 2 unrelated caches into one.

The first WP is about Humpty Dumpty. Most know the story but I think what actually occurred is somewhat different. Mr. Dumpty was not a fan of the current regime (Pick 1: a) the king wanted to build a bigger and better wall.  b) the king wanted to provide health care to all residents.) Humpty knew that due to his views, he might be in serious danger from the king. He therefore had a body double fill in for him (after all, all eggs look the same as long as they are of the same color). The Humpty double was pushed from the wall by the king's men and of course they wouldn't have saved him either. What you'll see at WP1 is the scene after the king's horses and men have left the area as well as the coords to the final. Start at the bottom (which could be obscured if there is snow) and work your way up.

The final is a very short walk from both the parking and the 1st WP. This is an extremely high muggle area and the reason for most of the difficulty. It is also not a park and grab, it will take a little time to retrieve (and replace). There are the occasional pedestrians, the Greece Ridge Mall, Ridge Road traffic, numerous businesses and a bus stop nearby (btw, more than bus riders use this shelter).  I worked on this mostly between the hours of 2AM and 4AM and put some expense into this, so please be extraordinarily cautious of muggles. I'm giving it an attribute of a night cache though it's not the traditional type with fire tacks. The final is similar and inspired by a Team Daisydog cache with my own c-fire twist on it.

No caching during the nearby business hours: Open til 9:30PM all nights except Sunday when they are only open until 8:00PM. It opens 7:00 AM weekdays and 8:00AM weekends. That being said, going at 6:30 in the morning for example still probably won't work as traffic will be busy and the bus stop will probably be in use.

I can't emphasize this enough- LIMITED CACHING HOURS.   NOT A PARK AND GRAB!
