GCXNVN Buried, But Very Much Alive (Traditional Cache) in California, United States created by losel2

This cache has been archived.

losel2: Unfortunately, the local younger sect in that neighborhood had to do their destructive thing to the cache. [}:)] Now that they know of it’s secret as a geocache, I will not be able to replace this cache at that same location. [:(] I thought that this location was going to be perfect, but my hopes where a bit to high. Perhaps I can locate another, yet better location, where this cache container can reside. [:P]

Geocache Description:

You are looking for two Altoids containers right next to each other. This is an easy 1/1.

Optical Fiber: A filament of transparent dielectric material, usually glass or plastic, and usually circular in cross section, that guides light.

The use and demand for optical fiber has grown tremendously and optical-fiber applications are numerous. Telecommunication applications are widespread, ranging from global networks to desktop computers. These involve the transmission of voice, data, or video over distances of less than a meter to hundreds of kilometers, using one of a few standard fiber designs in one of several cable designs.
Carriers use optical fiber to carry plain old telephone service (POTS) across their nationwide networks. Local exchange carriers (LECs) use fiber to carry this same service between central office switches at local levels, and sometimes as far as the neighborhood or individual home (fiber to the home [FTTH]).
Light signals traveling via a fiber-optic cable are immune from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). Lightning and high-voltage interference is also eliminated. A fiber network is best for conditions in which EMI or RFI interference is heavy or safe operation free from sparks and static is a must. This desirable property of fiber-optic cable makes it the medium of choice in industrial and biomedical networks. It is also possible to place fiber cable into natural-gas pipelines and use the pipelines as the conduit.

There is no need to go on or disrupt private property to find this cache even though it’s location is in a residential area. An easy drive to, grab ‘n’ go. I do not provide any writing implement because I believe every good geocacher should carry their own. Small trade items that fit in Altoids tins.

Congratulations to dbpeppers for this FTF and his very first FTF. I have a little something for a prize but it surely isn't $100!
