Geocache Description:

This cache is very easy...until you get close to it.

The title of this cache is a reference to one of Central Iowa's favorite cachers and current IGO Board Member, Fishpounder. Last fall he went on a rampage and placed a bunch of caches that were so small that there should have been a new category created to describe them. They are micro-micros.

Placing this cache was my way of extracting revenge on behalf of myself and all the other cachers who went out and searched for caches that are about the size of my pinky fingernail. Like a fish out of water, Fishpounder is going to be in a situation that will feel very unnatural as he searches for this cache.

You should be able to retrieve this cache without any special equipment. I placed it without using any special equipment.

The cache is located just off of a nice walking path in River Valley. You can park fairly close to the cache at the Carr Pool parking lot. N42 02 331 W093 36 198. The short trip from your car to the cache would normally be rated around 1/1. The cache gets much more difficult as you get closer to it.

During nice weather, it is likely that there will be a lot of muggles out enjoying the nice paths, so please use discretion when others are around.


The hint is a spoiler. Don't look at the hint unless you want to know exactly where the cache is located.
