Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to recognize Handy Find and Team Ziggy (the Desperate Housewives) for finding their 1000th cache. Watch for briars, bugs, snakes, and other geocaching hazards. THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT!!

This cache was placed to recognize Handy Find and Team Ziggy for finding their 1000th cache. Their geocaching expertise has given them the ability to find over 1000 caches of varying difficultly and terrain. Watch for briars, bugs, snakes, and other geocaching hazards.

Essential items: First a full tank of gas and good road maps of all of North Carolina including detailed maps of Wake, Orange, Durham, Granville, Franklin, Harnett, Johnston and Chatham counties. Hiking boots, back pack, night vision equipment, Gerber multi tool, ladder, climbing belt and safety harness, 75ft of quality rope, hip waders, water, flashlight, safety glasses, work lights, bug spray, gloves, duct tape, pair of FRS radios, first aid kit, water purification kit, propane torch, PDA, a USB drive, camera, tent, floatation jacket, chisel, canoe paddle (no canoe needed, you're already up the creek), mirror, one large rubber band, one small rubber band, 15 inches of twine, shovel, lots of spare batteries, a lot of 12 bison-like tubes from eBay, your shots up to date, recent physical, life insurance policy paid and a sick sense of humor.

These are not your ordinary hides. You will need your GPS and the ability to think outside the box along with special extraction and removal tools. Bug spray is essential. Tecnu for cleaning poison ivy is recommended. Bring water and a pair of tweezers along with your normal Geocaching stuff! This cache will take time, you may have to make several attempts. Good luck and happy hunting!
