Lol, this is how you get a teenager to go tunnel caching with you. I promised my daughter if she goes with me to get these caches I would take her shopping. This one was tough, but finally figured out the clues. Tftc!

Now, the truth. Yesterday Benj59 sent me a text asking if we could join forces to grab a few @PayMeCache letterboxes. Of course I will! So we wrangled up @2lablovers and @WindAtMyBack for some afternoon fun.
Near the GZ we ghillied up in knee pads, headlamps, latex gloves and protective gear. Never know what you can catch when you're playing around in muddy tunnels. They can be so constricted. But some are massive, too. PayMeCache's tunnel was massive. We saw 5 or 6 kids coming out as we walked up. Then we went in. It was warm and wet, just what you wouldn't expect at this time of year. It wasn't big enough for all of us to enter at once. We had to come in one after another, like a train into PMC's tunnel. At first two of us could be inside, right next to each other. Then as we pushed deeper it became a 1 man job. Just a cozy comfy tight, fit.
PMC guided us with his safe written instructions to that precious package. It was a great first time tunnel experience and I'm glad it was with this gang.
There was an extra surprise at the end. But I guess I should have expected the tight curves in such a compacted place. It was so tight that we stopped the train and I probed a little further by myself. Carefully, I could sense I was near it. Just a little more, then the joyful explosion of happiness and relief when I held the cylinder in my hand. Soon all the others were exploding with joy! Stamped our names on the paper without getting it stuck to anything or wet, and I eased that little package back where it belonged. Definitely worth a million bucks. Maybe we should have recorded it.
I must say that we were in this one shorter than PMC's other tunnel cache. But everyone left satisfied, if not a little tired. Tftc!

So close, yet so far. We crawled through this mud tunnel for nearly an hour. Back and forth, back and forth. We probed, but left with only a bitter taste in our mouth.

This was quite an adventure. Got a text from LID to join benj59 for this challenging cache. We all met and did an inventory - ladders, boots, gloves, flashlights, lanterns, rope - we've got this. Off the guys went - crossing the large smelly lake of water into the dark. Would they return? It took a while as there were two caches to get but they returned victorious.

One more DT down! I've been working on my DT grid for several years. For a while, I wasn't sure if I'd ever complete it. I started the year with 20 spots left to fill. Including 6 Terrain 4.5 holes. This was the last T4.5 cache I needed! I teamed up with LostinDenver, WindAtMyBack and 2lablovers for this adventure.
Thankfully I had scoped out the starting area the other day and came prepared. And I had a good lead on a TOTT that proved to be quite helpful in the retrieval. Not sure how part of the description played a part in the figuring out the location, but we all just relied on geosenses and the final spot revealed itself without too much difficulty. I admit that LiD did the honors of retrieving. But since I brought the TOTT I felt like I was a helpful part of the whole thing!
Very clever spot and although it's obvious muggles practically live in here, I'd say this cache is pretty safe where it is.
Thanks for the hide PayMeCache. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

Went out looking for geocaches with "animjason" on one of the cooler days in quite some time - this was the fourth of eighteen that I found. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Another classic urban dictionary word.
Needed to chat with CO on this one for a misinterpreted clue. Then we got it. Another fave earned from this tunnel monkey.
Thanks PayMeCache! Logged Money Shot from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Enjoyed the attempt, even though I came up empty. The story made sense, and I checked a few other rings besides the seventh. Just couldn’t spot it.

I had the pleasure of assisting in the placement and beta-testing of this brilliant cache. We had a great time putting this together and I am glad that the cache owner asked me to be a part of this.
I also wish to document that I take no responsibility for the cache owner's decision to accept my obnoxious suggestion for the poetic cache description.
Thanks for the fun hide.
P. S. No animals (including humans or PayMeCache) were harmed in the writing of this log.

{FTF} @ 0715am.... first off this was one of the most fantastic letterbox caches I have found. Loved everything from start to finish!!! The riddles and crazy scenery we saw on this journey mad us laugh with pure elation. Glad we all the right TOTT’s along this adventure otherwise this would have been a bust. This one proved to be far more challenging of a retrieval, work clothes dirty... oh well not the first time I went to work after getting dirty from getting a cache. Thank for the time spent and the creativity of this cache and riddle. Definitely earned a favorite point.
Some may say we are crazy, but this game/hobby is one of the greatest gifts. Who doesn’t love a great scavenger hunt. Hiking, biking or driving hundreds of miles to sign our name on a piece of paper. This brings us a lifetime of joy.
Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher/MagicCacher.Tftc
