About This Item

The Mutant

[Original Description]

It's got the tail of a beaver, but the body of a chipmunk. It lives in pine trees, but only if they are near water. What the heck is this thing? We don't know. Even IT doesn't know. But one thing it does know: how to find the cache "Lair of the Mutant". And as of January 2009, this guy is also carrying the only hint to "Every Mutant Has His Day". If you find this bug, note the cache coordinates and log a retrieval or discovery. If you do take the bug, please move it along as quick as you can, and keep it within 25 miles of Groton, MA. Both of these caches are micros, so as an alternative to trading there, you can trade SMALL ITEMS within the secret compartment of this bug as you move it along. Please do not overstuff the compartment, and be very gentle with the closing mechanism. And a big thanks for all the great photos!!

[IMPORTANT UPDATE]

Sadly the original Mutant has gone missing under very mysterious circumstances.  I'm not saying it was aliens -- but it was aliens.

He was one of a kind and therefore cannot be directly replaced.   However, a relative of his has been tracked down.   This guy does not share the mutancy of the Mutant and he is really just your basic, normal, highly knowledgeable chipmunk.   He knows everything the Mutant did and will be sharing it with New England cachers as of December 2011.

The new Mutant made it to exactly one cache before disappearing again. Unfortunately it was an event cache, with dozens of visitors on the day it most likely disappeared. No way of telling who grabbed it.

Starting to look like archive time.

Domo!!! (= Howdy! In Japanese) Unfortunately, I also did not see this one inside the GC39XDF 2012 New Year's Day (Traditional Cache) of Woburn, MA during my cache visit today. Too bad, with so many watchers, carrying a hint for a cache or two, as I'd like to find them as well. Sorry & Good Luck!

swung by 2012 New Year's Day to check out this little guy, but he wasn't there - now I'm reading back in the logs and see that I'm not necessarily looking for it as pictured. well.... I still think it's not there. bummer.
