Geocache Description:


Squish Squish Cache

Pratts Brook Cache #2

So named because that's the sound my boots made on the hike back from hiding this cache. I've hidden other caches on very soggy ground but this one is actually submerged under the flowing waters of Pratts Brook. At its deepest, the brook is several inches above my ankle high boots...hence the squish. 

The cache container is a pillbox/bison tube attached to a something heavy. That heavy thing is attached to something else with a length of cord.

These two trees (see photo) are to the north-west of the cache.

Please take note of the position of the cache container before retrieving it and be sure to return the container to it's original hiding location in order to maintain the intended level of concealment. Also, I would appreciate feedback on the condition of my containers. Each one is an experiment to make them more durable, watertight and inconspicuous. Thank you!
