Really!?  Another camo'd Bison tube in a pine tree!? Yup!

With a twist of course!

 

Cache IS at the posted coordinates but getting to it might take some figuring out!


Everything you will need is contained at the cache.  No special tools required. Please, no tools!!  Do not try to pry anything apart or out!  

 

** Important!! **

Remove only the end cap!  You should be able to see the cache!
 

When replacing the cache, hold level with the "handle" facing straight down. Push gently, possibly giving it a little wiggle.  You will hear or feel a click when its been reset.  (about an inch in)  Verify that it is locked by trying to "dump" it out.  Do not put the end cap on too tight!  Help me keep this fun for all future cachers!!

 

No hints or directions provided. You'll figure it out! The cache is intended to be handled so it's not attached, please replace as found securely in it's hanging spot. The only part that should be removed is the cap at the end of the long tube. Do not try and remove any other part. Thanks!

 

This is a resurection of one of my older caches that was stolen and abused.  Hopefully the new cache will withstand the elements and cachers better, but I would appreciate the help!  It was a highly favorited cache and I hope this version lives up to the old cache's reputation and series.

 

I woke up from a dream last night with this cache and design in my head.  I couldn't go back to sleep because I was so excited to build this one.  I worked out all the details and prepared a shopping list of all the gizmos and gadgets needed to construct this one.  On the way home from work today I went to Lowe's and picked up the needed supplies.  It was fun building it.  Button loves it and can easily do this one over and over.  I even had my 2 year old Marauder Jude do it several times (he's now 6!).  I'm confident of it's design and longevity but please be gentle.

 

As always report any problems in your log or email me.

Thanks and have fun!

After being here before and finding nothing, I got a little concerned when I still saw nothing right off the bat.

Wait a minute, no way, there it is!

Having seen this one before, accessing the log was quick.

Thanks for the cache!

Out caching on a nice winter day with Ark Goose. Primary mission was a couple of specific D/T rated caches and then some fun field solve puzzles and other challenges. Overall it was a very successful outing even though it did start to get breezy and cooler. Having seen something similar before made for a quick solve on this one. Still worth a FP as these field solves make for fun finds. Nice hide. SL. TFTC
