Logging Etiquette:
FTF Prize: This bonus cache has a FTF geocoin for the geocacher to whom makes the first find as a FTF prize. The FTF coin is a prize for the FTF geocacher, and is not considered to be swag.
SWAG: SWAG or "Stuff we all get," are meant to be trade items in geocaches. If you take a piece of SWAG, please leave something of equal or greater value behind. Due to the size of this geocache, only a few bits of SWAG will be able to fit, but I hope the few bits of SWAG items available will be enjoyed by others.
Logs: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their geocaches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of geocaches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the geocache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Retrieval of the Cache
The difficulty rating of this geocache was based on the difficulty of completing both adventure labs, including the distance required to travel to all of the stages, while the terrain rating is based on the geocache's location. The actual difficulty of this geocache hide would be rated a D1.5.
Please take care and use stealth when retrieving and replacing this cache. If there are muggles around please wait until the coast is clear before you make your approach.
