Gosh, I'm very sorry, but the cache is not at the posted
coordinates. It's close, but you'll get wet looking there. Sure, I
could have posted the real coords, but I've put out too many easy
caches lately. Some were even lame drive-by caches. It pains me to
admit it, but that's the truth.
"Reexamine what were the most memorable caches you've found in
the game", I told myself. "And emulate those." Of our best caches,
IMHO, those math puzzles put out by jelong/LazerBlazer or the
multicaches of Yoyo-man caused me many frustrating
enjoyable hours that I'd like to pay back. To think back, and
concentrate on those memorable caches, will hopefully reawaken my
creativity. On every geocacher's shoulders rests the responsibility
to maintain a high standard of cache placement. I alone am to blame
for the decline of my caches. My creative abilities have lately
festered somewhere between inept and complacent. It's time to reach
for new heights, or at least return back to the level at which I
once hid caches I was proud of.
So let me think back to some more of those outstanding caches
that set the standard....
There's Trailerman's "Counterfeit Blend", Mtn-man's "33 1/3",
several caches by Ramness570. The goofy and tricky caches of
Skeetman/Ga. GeoDude and of mrplug are good for inspiration. Then
there are the great hikes experienced thanks to caches of the
Lacys, Georgia Hikes, and Trailfrogs. For real physical challenges
(at least for me) there's Sparc77's "Starhopping" odyssey, followed
by Johnnie's "Moolah". Not to forget the cliffhanger "Band of
Brothers". But back to the cerebral rather than physical
challenges...
The mental sleight of hand tricks of Yellow Jacket with his
"Ultimate Puzzle Cache" and the nocturnal pleasures of his "Night
Owl Walk" are some of our most memorable. Trez eroded my psyche big
time with some of his caches. I still can't believe he had me
snorkeling under a floating dock for "Pirate Trezure".
I really got into code caches like "Dispatch for Thomas Jefferson",
"Entrance to Hades" and the P.I.T.A. series, but I can't believe I
spent hours with a calculator or researching codes on the internet
when I could have been out hiking.
On each cache hunt there are challenges. The best caches involve
the greatest challenges. It can involve a convoluted code like that
in "Beale's Box" to analyze, "Rock Town's" terrible satellite
reception, or the knee twisting final stage of a cache that will
remain unnamed.
It would be great to keep listing my most memorable caches, and
pay tribute to those who placed them, but I know you really just
want to know how to find this cache. Well, it's your basic
large ammocan. I may tell you more later if necessary, but I
suspect those who have enjoyed many of the same caches I've
struggled with will soon know where to look.
