Emmett's Peek-a-boo Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:


This cache will serve as a gas saver and parking location for many of the other caches in Boston Lot. It may not be a time-saver though.Finding the cache is the easy part- you are looking for a mid-sized tupperware that is mere feet from parking (though up a decently steep hill). You must sign the log to claim credit though! Inside the tupperware you will find a small wooden box sealed inside a (hopefully) waterproof plastic bag. We received this puzzle box as a gift from a friend, and after many days of struggling to open it we had to look at the solution- at which point, we decided we needed to hide this as a cache. There is a trick to getting this cache open- you DO NOT need to force anything. In fact, the drawer to the wooden box will practically fall open when the log book becomes accessible. 

After signing the log, be sure to close the box using the specific instructions provided inside so that the cache re-locks itself. We recommend taking a photo of the solution/closing instructions before putting the cache back together to ensure you do it correctly. Otherwise, there will be no challenge for the next finder to solve. 

Happy caching!
