Geocache Description:


Story behind the cache name:

If you've been attending geocaching events in North Dakota for a while, you know that Tick_Magnet (Ed) and N0SND (Frank) refer to each other as big brother from the other mother and little brother from the other mother. Neither of them have any idea when they started doing that, but it's been going on for years. They have had people believing that they are brothers (they are not) because they randomly throw out comments like "mom always liked you best" or some other sibling rivalry type of comment when people are nearby. They also have had people believing that Ed didn't talk to Frank for two years because Frank took a trackable out of state that was supposed to travel around North Dakota only. Some people who hadn't met Ed yet thought was some type of terrible person only to find out he's one of the nicest guys around. Another thing they've done to troll other cachers is discuss signing each others names to logs when they're not caching together. Often times they hear, "You're not supposed to do that" or "that's cheating", then they laugh. Often times they will sit together at events and reminiscence like a couple of brothers and go "remember when we did...", and make up some story about and the other one will build upon and get even more people hooked on their "brothers" shtick.

The other half of N0SND (Jessie) AKA the "sister from the third other mother" just rolls her eyes and shakes her head. 


About the geocache:

Have you ever heard of NFC?  It stands for Near Field Communication and you are probably holding a device in your hands that is capable of reading them. This is the same technology that allows people to pay by holding a bank card or phone to the credit card reader at the checkout in the store. If you happen to be using a actual GPS receiver, you will need a cell phone to complete this cache. You will also need to make sure the NFC setting is enabled on the cell phone.

Once you get to the first stage you will need to locate the container with the NFC chip that will allow you to get the final coordinates. You WILL not need to remove the container in order to get the information, please leave it in place.

Once you find the first stage you will be instructed with the location of the final, which is a short walk away.

The difficulty is based on the second stage, which blends into the surroundings pretty well.
