Geocache Description:


Have you ever had a look at your geocaching "Difficulty / Terrain" or "D/T" chart?  The one below is from the internet... I don't have over 6000 finds!

Regardless of the huge number of finds, this chart has the same ratios as found for many geocachers.  A lot of D1.5/T1.5 or D2/T2... but some of these blocks are hard to fill.  A Difficulty 5 / Terrain 5 cache is definitely rare... but think of some odd combinations:  Such as a high terrain, but a simple difficulty, such as Difficulty 1 / Terrain 4.  My caching friend ScoutrP and I got talking about this a while back:  how it's difficult to fill the D/T chart not only due to the few D5/T5 extreme caches out there, but also due to the few "odd" Difficulty and Terrain combinations such as D1/T4.  

Which brings us to...

D1/T4.

This cache is difficulty 1.  It is not camo'd.  It is a huge container, about 8L, labelled "T1D4", sitting in plain view at a base of a tree.  I'll even provide a picture here.  To find this cache, it doesn't get easier than this.  Hence:  D1.

Yet... to get to this cache, you need to first hit a Terrain 3.5 area, according to a cache that has been hid nearby for several years.  Yet, beyond terrain 3.5, you need to find the side trail (it's there) which can be a little wet in places, and do a little bushwhack... unless lucky.  So Terrain 3.5 plus a bit... i.e. Terrain 4, or T4.

ScoutrP... have you filled D1/T4 yet?  Whether you have or have not... come and get it! :)
