GCE49D Mixed Pasteboards (Traditional Cache) in Nevada, United States created by longwalker

This cache has been archived.

longwalker: I liked the original spot, but it turned out to be to hard to maintain because of animalistic people using the area as a toilet. I never dreamed the new location would be found by accident, but the cache has been stolen.
I'll leave the are open for a creative new cacher.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a playing card exchange, bring a card take a card.

This cache NEAR the Las Vegas Strip and I placed it for those visitors who may want to do more traditional caches during their visit. I moved it from the original location due to disgusting messes left by people at the bus stop. This was the closed similar placeFor those visitors who don't have a vehicle it is a short walk off the Strip. If you have a car there is safe parking about 100 yards west of the cache site.
If you are traveling on I-15 this is a chance to get rid of another card from the deck you broke up to do Playing With A Full Deck???? (SpiderTracks' cache was the inspiration for this one.)

The container is a large silver Altoid tin. Its contents are few.
A pen and log book
A geocaching notice
One deck of poker size casino playing cards from the Sahara Hotel
One deck of bridge size playing cards from the Tropicana Hotel
One small souvenir deck of cards, approximately 1.5x 2.5 inches.

THEME: Trade ONLY playing cards. Trade for card of same suit and value... i.e. trade a 2 of spades for the 2 of spades, a king of diamonds for the king of diamonds, and so on and so on. Lets keep the decks complete... so we are all "playing with a full deck." BUT TO LOG YOUR VISIT... you must bring a card that hasn't already been swapped... AND the back of all the "INCOMING CARDS" must be different from the original red and white Sahara design on the poker size cards or the blue and white Tropicana Hotel design on the bridge size cards or the Sea Otter picture on the back of the miniature deck..
Soooooooooooo we will keep "playing with a full deck" it will just be a real funny one.

You can log it just one time. Remember to bring a unique card that hasn't yet been traded (I will periodically update the chart of cards already traded by eliminating them from the chart.) PLEASE RECORD YOUR TRADE IN LOG OF THE VISIT - NEED NAME OF CARD (i.e. 2 of diamonds) AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BACK OF THE NEW CARD (i.e. Blue Bicycle, or Red Hoyle, or Yellow and Orange Flowers, etc.) and which deck it was traded in.

Poker size:
Spades: 7
Hearts: A
Clubs: 3 8
Diamonds: 10

Diamonds: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K

The life of this cache will be however long it takes to trade all the cards in the decks. I know this could be the cause of a lot of good decks of cards being ruined. But surely you have decks that the children have mutilated or lost some of already anyway. This should be fun to see how long it takes. Add this cache to your watch list and see how it goes.
Parking is available nearby but not at the cache site. Be careful this is a busy street.

Please do not trade or leave pornographic or sexually explicit cards or material.
