Geocache Description:

A very large cache as a reward for doing three micros.

The Cache is not at the listed location!

This cache is named in honor of our 4 year old daughter. It is meant to be a reward for the kids (and adults) that suffered through the three requisite micros. This is a very large cache and can hold much larger than normal items (Kate actually fits inside the cache, and she asks that you please remember not to leave your kids inside the cache as swag.) The water tightness of this container has yet to be measured (we have tried to make it as moisture tight at possible), so we have left some very large zip top bags in the cache. Please place all swag inside these (or smaller) bags to protect the items should the container leak.
Note on terrain: There is one steep hill, but there are many ways down it which should not pose a problem for most children over two. Also please use stealth when entering cache area so as not to attract attention to the cache.

To find this cache you must first find three other caches and record the secret number from those caches:
Lil' Blue Pill = X
Silver Guardian = Y
Not Quite The Big Easy = Z

Coordinates are:
N 33 5X.AB7
W 084 0Y.BC1
where
A= (Y-X)-4
B= Y + (X-Z)
C= (Y-X)+Z

FTF prize: Take any item with out a trade.

Initially, this cache is full of toys (not fast food toys) both for kids and adults. Some of the overgrown kid toys include a Palm M515, a Palm Tungsten C, a DVD player, MP3 player, firewire cards, video cards (ATI All-in-Wonders), video capture card, and more...

Also as you will quickly notice the area could use some CITO if you feel like being helpful.
