Geocache Description:

Welcome to the new HQ, only accessible from Wednesday to Sunday, 11AM - 5PM! This geocache is placed with local permission and only available during the posted hours and is closed on major holidays. READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING!!!

At Ground Zero (GZ), listen to instructions provided by Agent 86 on the ancient GC-labeled communication device! When the message is over, place this listening device on the special receptacle provided. It is marked. This geocache is easy to access with no force required. Deduce the code to defeat the Cone of Silence! When complete with the geo-transaction, replace the listening device to reset this geocache for the next Special Agent. There are no booby traps present and plenty of room for trade items and trackables, so bring them if you have them, to share with other Agents! If you happen to have junior agents or an unresponsive muggle spouse, then bring them along as well to win them over!

PLEASE DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING WITH THIS GEOCACHE. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO OPERATE THE CACHE IS PROVIDED. IF YOU ENTER A WRONG CODE 3 CONSECUTIVE TIMES, THEN HANG UP AND WAIT 60 SECONDS TO RESET..  TO PRESERVE THE FUN FOR OTHER AGENTS, PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY PICTURES OF THE CACHE! 

If you like this cache, let others know by awarding a favorite point! The Chief (Sean) and Agent 99 (Meryl Ann) are very friendly and have provided permission for this special gadget cache to reside at this covert location for the Special Agents of the Geocaching Community. Beware of KAOS Agents. A collection of marauding muggles, the KAOS Agency is actually incorporated in the state of Delaware. Allegedly, they did that for tax purposes. The new Head Quarters looks forward to your visit and requests that you attempt this geocache during the posted hours only. For those that live beyond the beautiful Santa Ynez valley, plan accordingly. There are many other great geocaches hidden in the Valley to fill idle time during off hours. Local hotels, restaurants, wineries, and curio shops are popular destinations with much to see and do for young and old agents alike.

The grounds are set up for gathering with friends and family, so bring a beverage and enjoy the ambience on the scenic grounds.  Best times to view Lavender here is late June and early July.  Congrats to Agent yokogari for the FTF! 

 

Now complete this mission Special Agent!
