Survivor Series: Escameca Mystery Cache

Hello there, Geocastaway!
Before you get started, ​​​​here's a pep talk from the winner of Survivor: Africa: Ethan Zohn.

This is Episode 02 of the Survivor: Worlds Apart trilogy, the 3rd season of my Geocache Survivor Series.

This season, geocastaways will be tested on their deduction, observation, and coordination skills and must choose between Outwit and Outplay to Outfirst (not Outlast for geocaching) all the others. Both options are field puzzles, i.e. they will make much more sense and become way easier once you are on site. 

The caches this season come with idols (sorry, not claimable) inspired by tribes of Survivor: Worlds Apart, and for this episode, by Tribe Escameca. This episode takes Geocastaways back to the beach of Tandang (Survivor Series S01E02): Mason Park Wetlands. Here Spencer and Ethan are back to do some bird watching.

Geocastaways of tribe ESCAMECA,
choose how you think you can outfirst all other players:

OUTWIT

• NOTE: As of this writing, the solution checker is not showing in the app. You can view the cache page in browser to test your derived coordinates.

OUTPLAY

AT THE GZ:

• Explore the "jungle" survivor style and look for the immunity idol

NOTES:

• Like most mystery caches, the physical container is NOT at the published coordinates. The published coordinates are the starting point for choosing Outwit vs Outplay.
• Remember that outwit option usually requires a bit of brain power, while outplay option usually requires more of skill and effort.
• Outwit is super easy once you have found the reference. Outplay requires a bit of hide and seek luck.
• For Outplay, note that the hint item is NOT the cache. Please put back the hint item properly so that it can withstand the forces of nature, and also avoid muggle eyes.
• The container is a micro, so please do BYOP.
• There is no claimable item at this point due to budget constraints. :( But feel free to wear and flaunt the idol and do an imaginary confessional if you wish. :)

LOGGING REQUESTS:

• Please log which method you chose to outfirst all other players: Outwit or Outplay.    
• Please make sure to lock and seal the log and the idol properly.
• Please "re-package" the container as neatly as possible and reposition to avoid wetness as much as possible.
• Please do NOT log direct spoilers but feel free to add your own cryptic clues.

FTF:

• EverestHigh and BrewMaker wins immunity for tribe Escameca!
