Rana Pirica:
Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Since there has been no owner activity on this cache page and it has been over 30 days since the request to perform maintenance, this cache has been archived. Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

Sincerely,

Rana Pirica

This is a clear plastic bottle with a blue lid.

The goal of this cache is to make it back home again.
When you find it, please take it with you and find another hiding spot for it a bit closer to American Fork, Utah. A note on the side asks that you not make it more than a difficulty 2/2 hide.
I really don't want one person to bring it all the way back home. I'd like for it to be moved quite a few times.
It is a regular cache that's already been around a while and has some interesting things in it. Please trade fairly.

After you place it in a new location, mark the coordinates and difficulty ratings and include them in your log message. Then, I can get the web page updated with the new coordinates for the next person.

Special Considerations

  • Be aware that this is a "moving" cache and may already be picked up when you get there.
  • Log a note with your intent to hunt for it (and when) so others will be aware.
  • If you find it and take it, please log it quickly.
  • If possible leave an indicator like a teepee of sticks in it's place to signal to a following geocacher that it's gone.
  • When you rehide it, don't make it really difficult. I don't want anyone wasting a lot of time hunting for it. I like easy ones and want this to be an easy one.
  • When you rehide it, please make sure your coordinates are accurate. Also, indicate the new difficulty and terrain ratings.
