A tribute to Triple D cache GC5JZEC that saw an early demise.

Sad as I may have been I was able to build a better version.

Please read all of the following instructions!

This is a field puzzle.

Disclaimer:

The cache is at the listed coordinates. It works best when it is darker out. Bright sunny days are a hindrance, as such, I would recommend early mornings, evenings, or night time for this cache! If you are an IPhone user you will need to bring a different special tool.

 

Simple right?  Just ring the door bell!

That really is all you have to do for the combination to be revealed!

No need to pry open anything. (Nothing is hidden in the doorbell, leave it be!)

I assure you, when you press the button the combination is being revealed.

Don't see anything? Hmmm... I wonder what that special tool attribute is?

 

 

As this is an electronic cache that relies on batteries, please don't continue to hold down the button, it eats up a fair amount of precious electricity! Press only long enough to get the combination. 2-5 seconds is more than sufficient. (Batteries are expensive!) 

 

Report any problems ASAP!  I want to keep this cache in perfect working order!

 

Congratulations to Xander&Mommy and ShipFam2000 for their CO-FTF!!!

Found it but couldn't enjoy it thoroughly as its batteries are dead as mentioned in the log from February. Looks like it might have been fun! See Retriever Ron's pic -- it shows his perplexity, LOL.

Out and about on a Sunday caching run with the always cheerful herndonrd. We decided to head out to the Springs because he wanted to find a cache that helped him get only one away from completing his Fizzy grid. While we were here we decided to grab other caches that tickled our fancy.

Neither one of us can resist a cache with a lot of favorite points, so we stopped here to check this one out. With no one around on the weekend, we were able to park and walk to ground zero easily and without Muggle trouble.

We made it to the final site and began to follow the instructions. We figured that this would cooperate since it was overcast. However, our initial attempts were unsuccessful. Then we got resourceful and herndonrd had the perfect TOTT in his car for us. Thanks for the fun hide and for your contribution to a great day of caching.

P.S. I truly enjoyed the creative design of this cache. Clearly you put a lot of time and effort into making this. This one definitely deserves a favorite point, which seemed to be true of all of your caches that we found today.

Out caching with FeartheFish today which means a lot of "pull over here" and now I am signed up for 2 (or is it 20?) new challenges that I've never heard of. Had the right TOTT. Give it a fav. TFTC!

We cached our way to the Colorado Springs area with several goals in mind. First there were three events that we wanted to attend during the weekend. We also wanted to work on our Planetary Pursuit points to earn the 10 souvenirs that are available. Next we wanted to get the new gorgeous GCCO coin, and finally we are working towards our 40,000 find .

We replaced numerous caches that had numerous DNF's along with log and or containers that needed maintenance. There was also a nano container that we had to replace because we dropped the bottom of container and could not find it. Took te TB to move it along, SL [6]

Thank you RPieperCO for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
