The cache is hidden at the posted coordinates.
Follow the posted coordinates and you will find a small-regular sized geocache. That should be pretty straight forward, and that is the easy part.
Inside the small-regular size container you will find 16 littler cache containers. Only one of the containers is the true cache. How can you obtain the true cache you ask?
You must choose. But choose wisely, or you could be opening up a lot of containers. Maybe if you think you can get into the head of team Ralphe you can figure out which container is the true cache on the first try. When logging this cache kindly ask you to let everyone know the number of tries it took you to find the one true cache. This is not required to log the cache but would be appreciated to add to the fun of it.
This cache was created by everyone on team Ralphe in honor of our 50th hide and our 500th find last weekend which was our second 5 difficulty. Due to geocaching rules we had to change our original plan for this hide and it actually will be posted after number 50. It was originally meant to be a 5 difficulty as there aren’t many out in our area. Trust us we will eventually make a 5 hide but it needs to be worthy of that rating which this one is not. If you would like to see our original devious plan please feel free to scroll past the picture of Ralph. You are more than welcome to follow the original plan we had for retrieving it but it is completely optional and is not required to find this hide. If you do go with our original concept you are more than welcome to add that to your log as you are a tropper.
Please do not remove any of the false caches from the container. This hide started out with the larger container, the 16 other containers, our very first trackable for team Ralphe18 and a small prize for the FTF. Please only take the FTF prize or the trackable to move on. Please only leave trackables so people don't confuse false caches with prizes to trade for.
Sincerely Team RaplhE18

Completely Optional and not required to obtain this hide: Our orginal concept;
Follow the posted coordinates and you will find a small-regular sized geocache. That should be pretty straight forward, and that is the easy part. To obtain the cache within that cache please follow the instructions as listed and do not cheat. If you cheat the geocaching gods will know and they will punish you with poor coordinates and no geosense for the next decade.
Inside the small-regular sized container you will find 16 other littler containers. Only one of the containers is the true cache. How can you obtain the true cache you ask?
You must choose. But choose wisely, as the true cache will bring you a find with a 5 difficulty rating, the false caches will take one day away from your pursuit each time.
The rules you must follow to obtain the cache are as such. You can open one, and only one container every 24 hour period. If you open a container/cache that is either empty or has a fake log that reads “Not the real cache try again”, “You chose poorly” or “Not it try another cache” please close that container, put all containers back in the Amo can and do not return for a 24 hour period. If you open a container that has an actual geocache log with lines to sign on and says geocache on it you found the true cache and have completed your challenge.
You are welcome to return back to this hide after 24 hours and try again, but please follow the same guidelines each time. The reason for the 5-difficulty rating is that you have to have persistence and patience (or some darn good luck) to find this cache. If you end up going through all 16 containers this will take over two weeks to complete your challenge.
Everything above this up to the picture of Ralph was our original concept and NOT required to obtain this find. Please know you only need to follow the instructions above the picture of our dog to get this one.
