Apollo18: As some of you know this cache was muggled by a property owner who's home is near the original location of the cache. I had spoken with him, and though he had threatened to call the police on us for "littering" I decided to go ahead and replace the cache, only I would move it some 400 feet to the south of the original location, putting it in a more exposed area, but one that was far from the fence lines. After placing the cache I returned to my car only to discover I still had the log book and pen with me. I returned to the cache and discovered the guy walking down the path that ran through that area of the park.

When he saw me returning he told me he saw me hide a suspicious package and he was going to retrieve it and call the police because someone was threatening to kidnap his son. It was very surreal. I think the guy was off his meds or something.

I've decided that I'm going to archive this cache and let someone else have a go in that area, though I'd caution you to wait a bit

Geocache Description:

To kick off the first annual Apollo 18 poker run, I placed this cache dedicated to card games. It has the first Poker run drop in it.

This is not a themed cache, but the container is small, so think small flat items.

Updated the coords with data from a diffrent GPS as the original, even averaged out was about 30 feet off.

Old samples: 38'40.490 121'13.381, 38'40.490 121.392 38'40.491 121'13.385

The container is...well, it must be seen to be believed. In addition to keeping your items small and flat, please make sure they are fairly waterproof.

*NOTE* This is a permanent cache, and will (barring muggling of course) out last the poker run itself. Even if you aren't going to participate in the poker run please feel free to visit, trade, and log!

Happy Caching!
