IT'S ALIVE!

Geocache GC6M3QA was a much-favorited, seven-stage puzzle cache planted in 2016 by Super Cacher (my claim, not his), animjason.

The multiple stages of investigation gave cachers a tour of Parker, CO and ultimately led to the cache location at an old Rio Grande caboose, until... one day the caboose was hoisted up into the air and relocated to a new home in Lakewood. 

Enter a fairly neophytic, but extremely excited geocacher (that's me!) who happened to notice a caboose pop up along her daily commute.

"What a great place for a geocache!" she thought.

Much to her surprise, the caboose already had a cache!

The original container had endured the journey of travel by land and by air. And it was alive and well!

Unfortunately, with all the changes that had occured, animjason's glorious puzzle was destroyed and has since been archived. But, with his permission, and guidance, and with the property owner's permission (of course) I have decided to replant the original container, along with all of its existing swag (plus a few new trinkets) and its original logbook, to give hommage to this little cache that survived such a great big adventure.

**When looking for the cache, please be respectful of private property. DO NOT climb in, or on, the caboose. It is not necessary given the cache's placement.**

?~*A SPECIAL THANKS TO CABOOSE AND TO ANIMJASON!*~

CONGRATS TO GRIZZLYCACHER & (go figure) ANIMJASON FOR FTF!

No luck. Didn't get to stick around for a long search, though. Too bad!

I checked out the inside first and was surprised by a muggle sitting in the cupola. Seems like a great place to just hang out. Coords are a bit of but not too bad. Got down to it and made the find fairly quick. TFTC. On to the next.

No luck on this one. Out on a 15 mile bike ride. Lots of wasp nests - not searching with my hands! Thanks!

Wow! Thankfully, I live nearby as it took a few trips and a couple of outside hints. I watched the installation and was wondering when a cache would be located here! Cheers!
