Geocache Description:

Button Men

Button Men is a dice game for two players invented by James Ernest of Cheapass Games and first released in 1999. Games are short, typically taking less than ten minutes to play. Each player is represented by a pin-back button of their choice. The buttons are metal or plastic discs, about 2–2.5 inches (5–6.5 cm) in diameter, with a pin on back that can be used to fasten them to clothing. 


A button bears the name and illustration of the combatant ("Button Man" or "fighter") assumed by the player. Each button indicates the quantity and maximum value (and abilities if any) of the player's dice.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL with the containers and hide exactly as you found them. If the container is damaged or missing, DO NOT replace them!!!!!! As you can see there are special containers for this Geo Art! Please just log a DNF and move on.

This Geo Art series is in honor of all the games we played growing up that involve dice. There are 32 caches that make up the outer sides of the dice as well as the 2 center "Snake Eyes" This is the new and improved Dice Series Geo Art. In March 2017 while performing a maintenance run with all new containers, I discovered due to the harsh rains of winter some areas had been washed away. So since I was already upping the Difficulty, I needed to up the Terrain as well. So the old Dice Series was archived and 2.0 was born! 

For the most part all GZ's are the same, or off 3 - 6 feet. Again, if the container is missing, DO NOT replace them. There are special containers for this Geo Art! That is why the Difficulty is high. Please just log a DNF and move on. Logs from throw downs/replacements will be deleted!

This area is prone to various wildlife and other assorted desert creatures. While placing we saw rabbits, lizards and were attacked by fire ants. Remember, you are invading they're habitat! Please be considerate. I designed most of this series to be done by driving on roads and marked paths. DO NOT drive on unmarked areas.  The caches are NOT in anyone's front yard so please do not disturb those that live here.  They are aware of the series and don't mind as long as people are responsible and polite.

Also, make sure you have plenty of water especially in April through October as it gets very hot!
