A Really Tacky Cache Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Ham3: I checked out the cache site. Indeed, it was burned over by the wildland fire. The cache was gone. Maybe some day I will put up a new cache of the same type.

Geocache Description:

A night cache using reflective buttons

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. This is intended to be a night cache and the cacher must follow a series of reflective tacks (see photo) that are placed in the area. The listed coordinates is the location of the start of the hunt and can be precisely located by finding the first tack that is stuck in the branch of a manzanita bush at the parking location at the side of the road.

You should bring a good narrow beam flashlight for this cache. At the first tack, shine your light all around until you spot the second tack. Go to that tack and again look around for the next tack. Keep up this routine until you cannot spot any more tacks and you are probably at the cache location. The cache is near the last tack. The trick is that you don't know just how many tacks have been placed.

Be careful because the terrain is steep in places and the soil is loose.. A good pair of boots would be advisable. This is the reason the terrain rating has been put at 3. This cache is not advisable in wet or snowy weather. You could slip on muddy or frozen ground. There is no poison oak in the area.

You are looking for an ammo box that has room for plenty of swag.

Items are:
Log & pen
Railroad spike
Rat's ass (plastic)
Golf tees
A child's digital watch
