Geocache Description:

Ivy, tree cover and camoed to boot.

The new, new stinker is the same type of a deal as the old one. It is larger than the last one but it is still a micro.

The new stinker is the same type of a deal as the old one. Due to various factors at the new site I don't think it will be as difficult as the old one. You are seeking a waterproof camoed container that is pretty small. Actually it is quite a bit smaller than the original that may help to maintain the DNF count, but you never know...

PS. I'm pretty sure a Steve Martin button will not fit in this container without the use of a hammer or a pair of pliers.
Of course, I have been wrong about such things before. ;o)

This a very nice sports park/community center in Newark. The first time I saw this building I was taken by the beautiful colors of the roof. That's right the roof! Check it out. I wanted these colors for my roof but slate would not work for me for a number of reasons.

The community center has a great indoor pool for the kiddies. Check that out too.

So I'm out to get a FTF in Newark on a nice Sunday. I locate the cache, open the top and withdraw the bag containing the log book.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

There in the bottom of the bag is a Steve Martin Button!

This can mean only one thing, Blanston12 has beat us all to another FTF! I sign the log and enjoy the walk back to the car as I plot a stinky hide to thwart him.

I drive to Robertson's Sports Park and...

The only info besides the coordinates is that you are looking for a waterproof match container (no matches) that has been camoed.

That's it.

Somebody get there before him please!

OK, just so nobody gets the wrong idea, Blanston12 is a great guy. My wife and I have met him a number of times and I owe him a thank you for one of my FTFs (Quarry Lakes Riparian Restoration). This is just a friendly little needle.

But please, somebody beat him on this one!

Oh, did I mention that a SMB probably won't fit in the container? He he.
