In recent months, I have hidden a series of caches using "interesting" geocache containers that I have accumulated over the years. People seem to like them, and I am now adding four more caches to the series, #31-34.
To make these even more interesting, I have decided to make all four of these multi-caches. But don't be afraid. These are all simple two-stage multi-caches, and the final for each is within short walking distance of the redirector that you will find at the posted coordinates.
As before, I have listed the size of this cache as "other" (with one exception), so as not to give anything away, and the only hint that I provide is how far the container is off of the ground.
I still have these two requests regarding these caches: 1) If you find one, please do not reveal anything about the container in your "found" log, and 2) be extra careful of watching out for muggles and being stealthy while searching for these. Many of these containers are one-of-a-kind and if lost cannot be replaced, so the cache will most likely be archived if it is muggled.
I found this Interesting Container while searching for a geocache. The outer container is large enough to hold a small tupperware container inside that has room for some trackables, so I am have pre-loaded the container with several trackables. Feel free to trade for them, but I would request that you trade for them on a one-for-one basis so that the container remains stocked. Also, I am making an exception to my habit of listing the size of these Interesting Containers as "Other", and I am instead listing this as "Regular". This is to allow people to obtain a Planets "Treasure", which is available for regular sized multi-caches with a difficulty rating of 2.0 or higher.
This cache is a simple two stage multi-cache. This cache is hidden near a work of public art. At the posted coordinates, you will find a small sign with information about the artwork. Using information from the sign, find a keyword, and enter it into the certitude checker to find the final location of the hide. To access this cache, you will need to open a 5-digit alphanumeric combination lock. In this case, the certitude keyword is also the combination that will enable you to open the lock on the cache's container.
I will call the keyword (and lock combination) ABCDE. The five digits that you are looking for are made up of four letters followed by one number. From the sign at GZ, determine the digits as follows:
A = the first letter of the first word of the two-word name of the artwork
B = the first letter of the second word of the two-word name of the artwork
C = the first letter of the given (first) name of the artist who created this artwork
D = the first letter of the surname (second) name of the artist who created this artwork
E = the single-digit number that precedes the letter "D" in the name of the City of Austin program that sponsored this artwork.
Once you have verified the lock's combination and obtained the cache's final coordinates, go find the Interesting Container. To open the lock on the container, carefully line up the combination's five digits with the word "Master" on the lock, and pull on the u-shaped shackle to open the lock. After you have signed the log and made any trackable trades, please return everything to the condition in which you found it. To close the lock, firmly push down on u-shaped shackle (with the lock's combination digits properly aligned), all the way into the lock's body, until you hear a solid click. At that point, you will be able to scramble the lock's digits so that the cache will be ready for the next finder.
