Geocache Description:


Welcome, fellow cachers! You're looking for a regular sized, NFC-enabled cache hidden in a common urban spot. But beware, this cache has a devoted, and slightly disappointed, sentinel.

Meet Colonel Cluckers. He's a local chicken with a dream. A dream of 11 herbs and spices.

Colonel Cluckers heard the whispers—a new fast-food joint was opening! "The letters are right there!" he squawked to anyone who would listen. "N-F-C! That's just one letter off from my favorite fried chicken!"

He set up a nest nearby, ready to be the first in line for a bucket. He imagined the golden-brown skin, the finger-lickin' good aroma...

Imagine his crestfallen look when he discovered what NFC actually stands for: Near Field Communication.

It seems his quest for the perfect chicken meal has landed him in charge of a piece of technology. Now, he stands sentinel, a very hungry, very bewildered bird, protecting a tiny sticker that, to him, represents the ultimate letdown.

Your mission is twofold:

1. Find the Cache: Locate the box, cleverly placed NFC icon.

2. Tag In: Use your smartphone (with NFC reading enabled) to scan the tag and get the log verification details (a secret code).

Don't worry, Colonel Cluckers is harmless, though he might try to peck at your phone in a desperate attempt to unlock the secret menu.
