This is a fun cache that is easy to find but you have to figure out how to get the cache out. I got this idea online from one of Daysping's caches (GCNDTN). However, teamwork is not nessary. Be sure to bring lots of water along with you as it is a very dry climate and you need to stay hydrated. The cache gets its name from the container it is in; a ultra voilet Crayola marker which is at the bottom of the tube and is the extra challenge. You have to figure out how to get the marker out without fliping over the tube or sticking any solid object inside it. Do not try to change the position of the tube on the fence post. Once you have got the marker out of the tube do not try to open it the normal way. Pull hard on the stick that is on top fo the marker. Inside you will find the logbook and a small pencil. Once you have logged your find be sure to put the marker lid back on tight! Please favorite this cache if you liked it! Be sure to check out my other caches nearby (West Big Dry Trail (GC78PRA), Trail-Head Tree (GC6M782), and By the Rock (GC6M797). Be sure to bring extra water!

For Father's Day my family indulged me and we all went geocaching together! I sometimes go with my daughter, but rarely do all four of us go. When we parked, we were all a little concerned the weather wouldn't hold up. We heard some thunder in the distance but it seemed like it might just hold up.

This was the first of three we got up here. My daughter was managing the GPS and lead us to GZ. It was hard to spot until you were right on top of it! I expected a bigger pipe and as it turned out I brought WAY more water than I needed. But given the recent DNFs, I didn't want to take any chances.

The cache came up as expected and it didn't take much to get to the log. It was just a little damp but very signable. We secured it well and replaced it for the next finder. Nice setup!

Thanks for the hide GeckoJack56

This is one of the most creative caches I’ve seen. I brought 4 liters of water, which was more than enough. Gets a Favorite from me! All good on the inside. SL TFTC!!!

I think what we need to do was pretty obvious to me. But nothing came up. Maybe the cache is not here anymore or it cannot float anymore.

We had the right tool, and lots of it, but nothing came up. Still, what an enjoyable trip and what a great idea. I haven’t encountered one of these before and I’m looking forward to coming back when it’s repaired. Sadie and I say hello.

Got it. Out walking with Penhead63 and ballerinaprincess tonight. Stopped by here to grab this cache. Came prepared for the challenge and soon had this unique cache in hand! Followed the directions and signed in. Thanks for hiding this fun cache for us to find! IHN!

Thank goodness I read the description before taking a walk. Not because of suspecting the TOTT I actually needed but for the TOTT I thought I might need based on the name. Everything worked but a partner might make it easier. Glad for the 2nd part directions too so I could open it correctly & retrieve the log.

Have had a few caches in this area on my list for a while - a challenge, an oldie, and 2 colors of the rainbow that I needed to finish a challenge I had signed a while back. Finally had a reason to be in this neck of the woods today, so explored this trail system a little. Based on the last log, I brought a ziptie and fixed the cache. Interesting container, took a second to figure out which part to open. TFTC!

I went for an 18 mile bike ride today to find some caches including this one at 3:36 pm. Thanks for the cache and for making my route more fun!

Quite easy to get to the log since the apparatus was just lying on the ground.

Found it but, unfortunately, I was looking and turning the tube and the wire tie broke. So sorry! Didn’t have anything with me to fix it!
