This is a puzzle cache even though it is not listed as one. Your hint will be found in this description. Find all the letters, unscramble the word, and you will hold the key to the cache. The difficulty rating is based on the puzzle not the actual cache. Here are some fun geocaching experiences and stories to read while you search for the hint in them. Make sure to watch out for muggles while getting this one, as it is next to a popular trail. Have a fun time geocaching! Keep in mind that the coordinates are near the cache but not where it is. They are about 75 ft. from the cache and you will need to use the puzzle to find the correct place. The first word is 8 letters and the second is 3. The last word is only in the last story and none before. Also, you will most likely need a TOTT for this cache, and I would recommend you bring a toothpick to get the log out...
We came upon the scene only to discover that the cAche was not where the hint described. It was one fence post down sitting next to a rattlesnake! hIs head was only an inch or so from the container. Not to be thwarted, I picked up a stick that was long enough to keep Me a safe distance from the snake and knocked the cache away. Boy, was he upset!
I once found a cache in the hollow of a tree in mid-February. Thinking the cache was overfilled with swaG, I picked up the plastic snake on top of the cache. Then, I picked up the cache and realized that I had a live snake in my other hand. That got the adreNaline pumping on a cold winter day!
On a nice summEr day, I was walking to a cache in the middle of a small urban woods. There was an obvious tree with a hole at the bottom, and my GPS was pointing right toward iT. As I approached, I tripped over a branch and made some other noise. When I looked back at the hole, the upside-down face of a racCoon was staring out at me! Glad I tripped!
I stopped for a letterbox on a house doorstep. The cache owner came around the corner from the garaGe and introduced himself. We both have the same first name and are both software engineers. He said his group was hiring someone with my skills and I was looking for a job after a layoff. He took my resUMe, I had an interview, and got the job! Geocaching is already my recreational and exercise activity, [and] now geocaching is also my job search program!
