Geocache Description:



Youse people are parts of dat geo-mob, eh? Good family, that. Your rep speaks for itself, you know? An just like dis family, I hear youse guys' runs on cache. We can do business, then. Game?

Now then, dis job is a hot one. Ya see, I pulled a big one and it went sour--someone now at the bottom of Lake Brandt is looking at their new aquarium up close and personal-like, now. My men were supposed ta meet me around the lake when everything went ta tha rocks--I had to dump the goods and get out of there fast. Ya see, they were runnin' intel on ways to open a lifted cache when tha bust went down. It was a cache safe--secure, you know? Since I hear ya go afta cache all da time, I thought youse might be good at cleanin' it up. Makin' small transactions. If I got the wrong person, we never had this conversation, got it?

So here's the deal--straight. You have da coords for where I hid da cache. It's in a spooky place near a Lake Brandt trail. (I keep finding these types places for "Fox" brand caches, don't I? It's intentional--believe me.) I'm also givin' ya the coords for where my men were before it went down. I thought about sendin' the "Silencer" ta keep 'em all quiet, but I heard they left clues to da combination behind. Seein' that, I'm prepared ta give 'em a second chance. Da family is forgivin', ya know? Anyway, at worst, these should get ya to within 13 feet, then ya can put what ya learned from youse family ta work. See what they left. There should be sandwitch containers--I guess it was about dat time. My men were picked up in public, so ya gotta exercise dat stealth that youse family taught. One location is out in the open; da odder two are harder ta get to, but are still public. Jus' make sure no one catches you, too, huh? One more thing; you'll notice two "spare parts" to tha cache inside. Feel free ta change it up, but don't take 'em or we're going ta have ourselves a little issue between our families that'll need to be resolved rather firmly. Kapish?

If I know my family, ya know, be prepared to do some light legwork after ya find their boxes to find the combination. It shouldn't be hard, so I don' wanna hear any of dis DNF mess. I'm also usin' da main cache ta drop off some family bugs from time ta time. This cache starts off with five bugs and one other listed on travelertags.com (a lock, hee hee). Once ya get in, ya should see a card ta give ya complete access to tha cache whenever ya want whether you copy the information down or not. Da family never forgets ta repay a favor, and don't youse forget. Feel free to drop ya bugs in dis here Lake Brandt cache fer safekeeping--it's real "safe", huh?

Just two more things. 1) There's a pretty good FTF prize. It's da other book with tha log. If youse don't want it, leave it for another and wait for the even better prizes (yes, plural) in "Fox III - The Bison Tube Nightmare". My family ain't done messin' with youse minds just yet. 2) Just like any "Fox" brand cache, there's a smart way and a real dumb way ta do dis. Don't let me catch ya doing tha dumb one.
