This is a walking multi-cache along wide, comfortable trails. You don't need to drive anywhere to complete the cache, but expect to do a reasonable amount of walking.

You will be guided to different points along the path as a mystery unfolds. The clues to each step of the cache are entirely within the story at each location. These clues are not extraordinarily difficult, but they will require you to do some thinking in order to move to the next location.

There is ONLY one copy of the story/clue at each location! Please leave it behind when you move on. We would suggest bringing a cameraphone so you can take a picture of the clue for reference.

Terrain ratings are based on good weather. The cache may be difficult or impossible to complete in the winter, depending on snowfall.

There is no need to destroy or rearrange any of the foliage in the vicinity of the caches, but the clue containers may be well-hidden. Please return them to their previous state when you've finished. Try to keep them as concealed as possible because they are all somewhat out in the open.

Hope you enjoy The Butterfly Heist! There may be more in this series in the future, depending on how this one is received.

Thanks!

We found the first waypoint today and made our way to the second. We searched here for about 45 minutes and then messaged the CO for a hint. Even with a hint we were unable to find it.

First stage is repaired. Game on!

We were out there today, and the first clue is missing. We have a new one put together, and we'll get it back in its spot in the next day or two.

Looked for the first stage for quite awhile and then asked for a hint from the CO. Still couldn’t find it even with a hint.

No luck on the first clue

Thanks for the nicely constructed cache. Started it last August, but got stuck on the third stage. Sent our coordinates to the CO and got confirmation that they were right, so we tried again a few weeks ago. Still couldn't find it, despite knowing it had been checked on recently. Went to email the CO again for a better hint, and realized the coordinates I emailed originally (which were correct) were not the coordinates in my GPS. Not sure what I did there, but we were 200 ft off. Went out today with the right waypoint, and found the rest of the cache without further problems.

Enjoyed the story on this one, and the walk along the nice trail.

Just checked on Stage 3 today and found that it is still intact. Happy hunting!

We made it to the third stage coordinates, but it only seemed there could have been a couple obvious and accessable places to hide it, but we came up empty on all of them. Could have made an oversight, but we had to call it after a certain point

Enjoyed this fun cache and the beautiful weather today. Thanks so much for a good time. Loved the story line. Thanks for excellent adventure.

Started this cache while I was at the park for an event. Kept grabbing the next location and working through this cache over a couple of weeks. Today made the final find in the rain.

I fully recommend this cache to all. It was challenging just a enough to make you think but not so hard to get frustrated. Thanks for a new favorite cache.
