Geocache Description:

Urban cache with heavy foot traffic, space for log and SMALL trade items, bring your own writing instrument.

You are a spy in training. Your final test to is find this dead drop, log your visit, and escape-- without being caught. The drop location is not in an out of the way place, it is in the middle of a city. You must be subtle, yet daring. Counter-intelligence agents will dog your every move. They are very suspicious and they will be watching you.

If there are people at the drop location, you can separate your fellow spies from counter-intelligence very easily. Merely give them the challenge:
"Marco?" (to protect yourself from counter intelligence it helps you if you cough as you give the challenge). Any true spy will immediately respond with the password, "Polo!"

One thing to remember: if the worst happens and you are caught, every real spy knows they must eat the evidence (i.e. the log page).

Good luck!

It's been a couple of years since I first placed this, and the location is not as secret as it used to be. While I enjoy it when people put geocoins and TBs in here, very few of them are ever seen again. You might want to do a virtual drop, but I really cannot recommend an actual drop.
