My son asked me if I knew where Pinnacle Hill was. He and two friends wanted
to go hike some place locally. “Yes, I told him. There is a
cache hidden there. I was just there with Mosaica a few weeks
ago. In fact I have parking coordinates on my GPS for a trail
head. Do you want to take the GPS?” "Sure."
Fast forward to late afternoon. “So, did you find Pinnacle Hill
all right?” "Oh, yes, we did. And we took the TB that was in the
box. And we HAVE to hide a cache." (I
gasp silently to myself – he HAS to hide a cache?!!) Trying to
stay cool I say, “Okay, I have some ammo boxes you can choose
from. Why do you have to hide a cache?” "Because the TB in
the cache wants to go to football fields. So we have to hide one
near the football stadium at Dartmouth.” Fast forward almost
two months. My son is back to college. I come home from a Sunday
afternoon of caching to find the TB sitting on my computer desk.
Not in a cache, new or otherwise. He’d come home and left it
there. So this cache is in Hanover, NH, not too terribly far
from Memorial Field where Dartmouth College plays their home
football games. And it started out with the Packer Backer TB.
The first stage is, to put it simply, a small micro. Coordinates
in it bring you to a second micro which tells you what you need to
know to find the final. There is no backtracking. You proceed up a
trail to the second, and on to the final.
Please bring a magnetic compass with
you.
