Geocache Description:


Divided By...
"Divided By..." Hmmm, really doesn't say much, does it? Exactly WHAT is being divided, and BY what? Well, I'll leave that up to you to determine when you go to the above coordinates. You'll find out.
There are pull-offs just before and after the location of the cache container. You may park at N35 29.329 W82 21.501 which is only a few feet away, in one of these pull-offs.
Look for a small, bison tube which has been painted to somewhat match its surroundings, and hidden in a rather unusual manner in a fairly common place. Coordinates have been checked several times, and should lead you right to it. When you locate the cache, you will be able to SEE it, but you will still have to figure out how to release it from its hiding spot. It will still be attached, so if you want to casually walk away to sign the log, you must leave the "top" behind. Please rehide it *exactly* as found. Enjoy! This is a sign-only nano, so bring your own pencil and please write small when signing the log! *NOTE:* Please do not *PULL* on the ring, or the cache after it has been released. Use the ring to RELEASE, and rehide it. There is no force needed to release or rehide this cache, yet we have had to replace or repair it several times because some folks insist on PULLING, which will BREAK it! NO pulling is necessary! Thanks.
UPDATE: In an effort to make this cache hide a little unusual and different, it was hidden in a rather unique manner, and it worked very well. Unfortunately, It seems that some people are unable to "operate" anything the slightest bit out of the ordinary. Dispite all warnings and hints that no force was necessary to release the cache container, we have had to replace it far too many times because some people still insisted on using force. We even replaced the nylon monofiliment with STAINLESS STEEL thread, and it continued to get broken. In order to keep the cache available, we have reverted to a more typical, less unusual method of hiding the container. It is now a home made micro container, hidden in a rather, "ho-hum" manner. We hope you still enjoy finding it, dispite the loss of the "wow" factor of the origional hide.
