One of my favorite caches was Tour of the Towns - CCARS11(GC2G345) By Foster Bros. Unfortunately, this cache was disabled on January 2nd, 2016. This cache is a smaller version of the that great cache! (with a Dog Pound twist!)
THIS CACHE IS NOT FOR THE OLD SCORE BOARD!!
I borrowed the following lines from the original Tour of the Towns description (thanks Foster Bros.)
This cache will require a lot of time and effort for a single smiley. You will find 9 caches that will get you a single smiley. If this type of caching is not your cup of tea, you are welcome to find 9 other caches in the same timeframe as it would take you to do this one. I can guarantee that this smiley will feel good once you sign the logbook. Please drive carefully. The most efficient route will take you on many different roads, from primary highways all the way to dirt tracks. It also takes you through a multitude of different environments, so bear in mind that the weather where you start could be very different from the weather where you end up. This cache was envisioned to be done in the company of friends, family, or just other cachers, as there is a lot of driving to be done, and a lot of "bonus" smileys to be found along the way. You shouldn't need any hints for any of the stages as all are relatively short walks and simple finds
One thing I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND is to bring a cell phone with internet capabilities. You will need it!! (there are field puzzles involved, you must decipher the pass code at each stage)....else you may be in for a lot more driving!!! (the twist).
Congrats to brendan714 for the hard fought FTF!!!...and on conquering 6000!!
