The Alphabet
Series
Main entry: Appenge
Pronunciation: &-'penge
Etymology: Suburban Pittsburgh appengen, probably from appeng (+
appengish to appenger) from Latin appengum noun, verb, adjective,
adverb
The first letter of this
series is "A" for Appenge. It is a classic example of how not to
hide a cache. It is a simple magnetic keyholder placed in an area
that holds no major attraction. No one will walk away with thoughts
and memories of what a great area, view, hike, or bonding
experience this was. Instead they will wonder why I brought them to
yet another parking lot with nothing for their kids to do. This
cache was placed to show new cachers how NOT to hide a cache. While
it does meet all of Groundspeak guidelines, it is worthless in so
many ways. Use some thought. Find an interesting place. Show people
a view or something that they might not know about in another way.
Don't waste their time taking them to parking lots to show them
guardrails and lamp posts. It does offer ice cream which is about
the only thing positive though. So enjoy the Ton of Fun, but PLEASE
don't hide anything that resembles this cache in any
way.
This cache is placed at
Kings Restaurant with the permission of both the shift and general
managers. Please respect the business and their patrons while
hunting this cache.
The Alphabet Series is a
series of caches with a special meaning. You will
need to collect number/symbol combinations at randomly
selected caches in the first 25 of this series. You will need
this information for the final letter "Z" which will be a
puzzle cache. There will be useless number/symbol
combinations placed also so please collect them all to gain
access to the final. Anyone wishing to hide a high quality
cache in this series please contact me with your ideas. No
further caches in this series will be hidden in this
manner...Or even hidden at all. Instead we might just allow
the series to waste away like so many lamp post micros that
owners just abandon..
Some notes:
The cache is not located in the lamp post. There are live
electrical wires placed there. Reaching in would be a hazard.
Common sense should tell you that this is not a good hiding place
for a game piece in in any game including this one.
This is a micro and if you don't like micros then don't hunt it. If
you do hunt it, then don't complain about it in your log.
I reserve the right to delete any and all logs on this page at
anytime as the cache owner.
Let this be the last parking lot micro we have to endure. We have
all seen enough of them and know them to be lame. If it's numbers
you are after, feel free to log this as much as you would like,
although I might delete multiple posts.
Critics beware! Stay away from this one. You won't like it-- so
please don't come. No one is forcing anyone to do these caches.
Please stay away.
