FOR SAFETY SAKE PLEASE DO NOT
ATTEMPT THIS FIND ALONE OR WITHOUT LETTING SOMEONE KNOW WHERE YOU
ARE GOING!
Obtaining the first container will require that you visit a
place of business during its operating hours. You may need to ask
for the Manager on duty if you get a puzzeled look from the
cashier. These fluctuate, but they’re really only closed very early
in the morning. You will need to go INSIDE
and ask for “Tire Swing Teddy”. Once in hand, pull up a seat, grab
a bite to eat if you wish and do what will become obvious when you
look in the container.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL TO KEEP CONTENTS CLEAN AND
DRY. When you finish with stage I, examine it closely, for
it will reveal to you vital information about the next stage.
Please return the container and its contents to an employee as you
received them.
IMPORTANT:
The management of this operation was excited
to help us with this cache. They are very good friends whom we have
recently introduced to the caching game. In exchange for placing a
stage here, they only asked that we please be patient if picking it
up during lunch/dinner “rush times”. Work before play!
Beware! Stage I can be
completed after sundown, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you give
yourself plenty of daylight (2 hours?) to go on from
there.
Making your way to Stage II will involve a hike along game
trails with a little bush whacking. If you look closely, you’ll be
able to see ahead just where some of the trails lead, so you can
choose wisely. Only ALL the right choices will lead to NO bush
whacking! PLEASE be extra careful, as footing can be slippery in
places and some routes may take you near the edge. Loose rocks,
moist and/or mossy areas are common. This is also prime reptile
territory in the warm weather months. The container you are seeking
at Stage II is a 35mm film canister. It is well hidden and inside
you will discover a note with the coordinates of the BIG cache, an
ammo box, and more information.
Again, like Stage II, phase three is only for the sure footed.
Be EXTRA careful and stay safe! Be sure to
place the box back as found. It’s tricky, but I did it….eventually.
The view is spectacular and I’m sure a sunset picture would be
equally so, but I wouldn’t risk being here that late, as a long
hike out awaits you.
As noted earlier, there are lots of game trails and which to
choose can confuse you. Each time in, I took the same way. Coming
back was always different. Just pay attention to directions and
some land marks while headed in and your trip back should be a
piece of cake. (Probably devil’s food, 'cus your legs will hate you
at the top)
There is a certificate and a special “bill” for FTF.
HAVE FUN!
Special thanks to Tamara and Michael for allowing us to place
our first stage.
