Geocache Description:


The Mission:
 
Launch date: June 21st 2021
Frequency: 1 unit every four days
Number of units: 8 (+ 1 bonus)
 
Several locations were carefully selected to establish much needed checkpoints in urban and residential areas in Arlington.
The caches are in different states of camouflage and terrain will vary. When making contact with each unit, use appropriate stealth to keep the location uncompromised. Each title and description of the geocache hint to its whereabouts, therefore there are no additional hints in this series.
 
Mission Objective: Find a clue in each cache to discover the location of GeoTrail: HQ bonus cache. Reward awaits the first 3 cachers to reach the HQ (no puzzle solving needed).
 
- Do not remove the clues. Please, report any issues without delay. -
 
Ground Zero:
Not many brave units made it into this unmapped, possibly treacherous area. The placement will show whether the mission has a chance of succes here. 
Street parking is available nearby. 
 
The geocache:
As the winter slowly moved away, newcomers became persistent and threatened the snake's den. Unafraid, the snake recognized it's time for a change and it moved out. However, before it crossed the big road, it left a black egg behind. It's magnetic and holds the clue.
 
Original description: Not aspiring to start a rock band, just sitting quietly hidden in some green growth in the middle of unsuspecting neighbourhood where muggles stroll all day long. The snake is heading towards North Pershing Drive. Grabbable from the side walk. Hanging high near the 2nd "leg".
 
Bring your own pen.
 
Logging Requirements:
No physical log = no smiley.  
 
Happy caching :)
