Geocache Description:

A VERY Fundamental Micro Cache (e.g. 35mm Film Canister) in the Rocket City. Bring your own writing instrument.

This cache was inspired by two recent events:

1. In the past 3 days I have hunted 4 challenging new micros (Bison Tubes or smaller), all hidden by geocachers new to the sport as of the first of the year.

and

2. I received 4 DNF emails from an out of state geocacher who was on an over night layover at the airport and tried to do some caching in his spare time.

This lead me to realize Huntsville and every other Alabama city I have cached in all have excellent caches of all sizes. Lampskirt micros are rare, and tend to be creative when they exist at all.

So, what is this anomaly I have placed here? It is a Rocket City Gimmie. This hide is so lame, FTF may well go unclaimed for days or even weeks! There is absolutely nothing tricky about this one. No magnets (Birmingham & Gadsden), no fake rat (Northeast Alabama), not pico container (Gadsden again), no plastic box (Greenville) no Altoids tin (Monroeville), no CAMO'ed Altoids tin (Montgomery), no velcro (Snead) and no bison tubes on fishing leaders (Huntsville). It's not in the tree and its not in the bush. It's not in the parking bumper. It's not buried. It's not up the pole. It's NOT a sprinkler head. It's just a film can under a lamp skirt.

For those just passing through, it is located right off the Interstate in a low muggle area. It is also right next to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center for those addicts that are not allowed to cache while the family is on vacation.

Enjoy your "search" and replace the cache sorta like you found it.
