Geocache Description:

Here's one for the guys.

Dear Heather,
Thank you very much for the roll of pink duct tape.

That was how it started, a nicely wrapped gift under the Christmas tree. But, a few weeks later I was putting the Christmas stuff away when I realized I had no place where I could put a roll of pink duct tape. In fact, what do you do with pink duct tape? I couldn’t use it because whatever I taped up might be seen. Even if I hide it some place in my cluttered basement, someday I could get run over by a car and then my heirs would find it as they cleaned out the house. What would they think?

What to do???

I pondered this for a couple years. I even thought of writing to Red Green for advice. Then it struck me. Hide it deep in the woods - in a Geocache.

So, here ya go. The cache contains lots of handyman bits and pieces. Not much kid stuff. There are screws, wire nuts, screw drivers, switch covers, magnets, LED light, and - if you are man enough - pink duct tape.

Please respect the park closed hours – dusk to 8:00 AM.

And for those who really love duct tape, check out page 3 of the log book!

Good Luck!

Congratulations to rakis2 for a difficult FTF!
