The Cache

The container you will be searching for is at the posted coordinates. It is a small blue 3D printed container hanging on the fence.

 

The Story

Recently on a group cache run, a cacher named Waawhoo spotted a family on the side of the road (near GZ) that was in need of some help. Their tire could have used this attribute. Waawhoo convinced his fellow travelers to take a break from colecting smileys to help this family. Good deed done they all went back to caching. We thought we would mark this spot with a fun little challenge.

How could we miss the opportunity to drive all the way to Colorado from Dallas Texas when it’s a first to find for a cache that’s a rockstar challenge book author? Really like the 3D printed container. I was wondering if those in mass end up cheaper than metal bisons?

What a great challenge. ?

BTW, for the whiner that posted on BookFace; I was kidding that I drove all the way to Colorado for this one cache. We were on our way to Oregon to drop off our daughter for college. Nice to see the hate cancel culture FB forum is not just focused still has one target. I hope it tormented you like our profile states as our mission.

Only 916 more caches to go. I look forward to finding this cache in a few years. Waawhoo is the nicest guy.
