Geocache Description:

Located in the North-Bound rest area of I-75, terrain is fairly simple, maybe 10 feet or so of bushwacking.

Welcome to the Cache Machine.
Overview:
Inside this machine, you'll find many machine parts. Each machine part is another camoflauged microcache, with log, ready to hide.

About the cache:
The cache is located at the NorthBound rest area of I-75, providing easy 24/7 access to travelers, local and distant. The cache may require some bushwackingfor the last 10 feet or so, the rest is on mowed grass. It's actually a dog-walk area, so watch your step, and bring the dog. There is a separate niche inside the cache itself reserved for Travel Bugs, GeoCoins, and trading items. Considering the size and proximity to the interstate, it's a great place to trade TravelBugs, etc. I starting it out as a member-only cache, but only for the first few hours.

About the Machine Parts:
There are over 300 microcaches in this megacache, most of them are 35mm film canisters. It took a very long time to camoflauge and prepare these microcaches, with the assistance of TropicalRage and DSKstudio.

They should all be waterproof, and all contain a mini-log booklet. Feel free to take one or more, as long as you intend on hiding them in your hometown. Ensure that you follow all of geocaching.com's guidelines for placing the cache. You may also give a Machine Part microcache to another cacher. Feel free to take one or more, or none, depending on your preference, it would be nice to see them hidden all over the country/world, but that's all up to you. If you wish to refer to this cache on your hidden cache listing, include the text: "This is Machine Part #xxx from the Cache Machine (GCX7Q2)". You are free to name your cache and hide it in any style you prefer.

Each microcache has a 'Cache Machine Part Number' associated with it and a passcode. If you decide to take one or more cache machine parts, you are asked to note the part number you took, and the geocaching code (GCxxxx) of the cache when you publish it. For now, report these actions of taking and hiding a microcache as log entries for this cache. I'll have a more automated system soon, which will utilize the passcode which is attached to each microcache. Please ensure that you keep the passcode sheet for your records when you hide the microcache, do not hide it with the microcache, and do not include the passcode in your logs.
